I'm a MAGGIE Award Finalist!


Between Light and Dark is a finalist in the prestigious Maggie Award of Excellence contest for published romance authors. Here's the link for their site. The book is a finalist in the paranormal category.

I'm super excited about this - and am no doubt up against some stiff competition (this contest always seems to draw the top selling authors as finalists -guess that's why they're top selling authors, right? They're good writers!)But regardless of the fact I'm no doubt the underdog here (my stepkids loved that movie by the way....) I do BELIEVE in my magic. Believing is half the battle.

Which reminds of a blog I intend to do soon regarding my recent attendance at the RWA National (romance writers of america) conference in DC. It was a wonderful conference and a learning experience for me in many ways both personally and professionally. More on that soon. In the meantime, I'm already thinking about what to wear for that awards ceremony in GA in October...

Now, I'm off to fly like that furry superhero...Underdog!!! 'There's no need to fear, Underdog is here..."
