I was delighted today when I discovered my last two books, Chasing Hope and Unveiling Beulah, each took First Place in their respective categories in a contest sponsored by Speak Up Talk Radio! How cool is that? This particular contest is international and held quarterly. Unveiling Beulah is a western historical and Chasing Hope is a contemporary romance (steamy).

I'm so happy to report that Chasing Hope, my latest contemporary romance, was nominated for the prestigious RONE Award through InD'tale Magazine. To be nominated, the book must be reviewed in the magazine and score 4.5-5 Stars, with the Crowned Heart for Excellence. Round Two of the competition is reader voting and our category runs May 4-10.
