First Place Winner – 2010 Marlene Awards!
by | Posted in Writer's Cramp 5 Comments »
The 2010 Marlene Award winners were announced yesterday at the Washington Romance Writers retreat (the other Washington), and I’m happy to announce that Hearts of Darkness placed first in the paranormal category. My prize is a critique of my entry by 2009 RITA award winning author Gwyn Cready. So excited!
In other news, my baby is 3 weeks 2 days old today and getting bigger every second. She finally fits into all of her newborn clothes! The weather in Seattle is gorgeous and we have been getting out on lots of sunny walks.
I read Silver Borne by Patricia Briggs during late night feedings on kindle for the iPhone last week. It’s another solid installment of the Mercy Thompson series. My only complaint: the love scene at the end is a little over the top for Urban Fantasy. It wasn’t needed to move the plot forward. Otherwise, good read!

Congratulations on your first place placement in the paranormal category. That’s fantastic!
I’m so glad to hear Juniper is doing well and you guys are getting outside for some strolls.
I’m second on the hold list at the library for Silver Borne. I hope my turn comes soon… this waiting is killing me here.
