Okay, not really famous … but my name is listed in the latest issue of RWA’s Romance Writers Report.
That’s right. I got the issue that lists all the Golden Heart® and Rita® finalists.
Blurry, but it's there — I promise!
There I am, right at the top of the Contemporary Series list. (Note to self: Continue entering MSs with titles at the beginning of the alphabet.)
Seriously, it’s a thrill to see my name printed alongside of all the other finalists’. Even though, as a reporter, I see my byline in print often (no longer every day, because I do more page design than writing), it’s different when my name is attached to my fiction. Don’t ask me why — I just know it is.
The countdown is on: In less than 20 days, I’ll be on a plane on my way to NYC. I can’t wait to get there and meet everyone! Win or lose, we’re all going to have a great time in the Big Apple.

That is so exciting! I completely understand why it means more with your fiction. I feel the same way.
Congratulations!
I seem to recall the finalists pictures appearing in previous years, but maybe I’m misremembering. Anyway, I haven’t gotten my copy yet, and with Canada Post on strike, I wonder if I will get to see my name in print before I leave for Nationals. OMG it’s coming. Can’t wait (partly because it’s also my vacation from the day job).
No pictures with this list. Maybe they run pictures of the winners, after Nationals. And, of course, our pix are up at rwanational.org.
