Congratulations to the winners in all the categories in this year's Romance Writer's of America RITA Award contest, held on Saturday.  It was a fun-filled evening and seeing so many friends in this yearly gala was a thrill.  I didn't win in the category in which my book, 20 WISHES, was entered, but the competition was steep.  I'm delighted to announce Rachel Gibson is the winner in the Best Contemporary Single Title Romance with her book NOT ANOTHER BAD DATE. Way to go, Rachel!
