Chasing Inspiration

Congratulations!


I read and write romance in all its various subgenres. Voraciously. So, every year around this time I wait with baited breath to see if my favorite authors make the cut for the romance publishing industry's most prestigious award - the RITA.

This year some of my favorite authors did make the cut, a few of them in the same categories. I won't bore you with the categories, but here are the books (and authors) I read last year and loved! Some of the authors below have more than one book nominated, but if they only show up once in my list, it's because I haven't yet read their other book(s). So many books to read, so little time!

Congratulations, ladies!
