Who is RITA you ask? RITA is the 'academy award' of the romance writing industry. Each year, the enormous Romance Writers of America select the top books in each catagory and hand out the lovely lady on the left at the RWA conference. This year the conference is in San Fransisco during the last week of July. I'll be there along with a couple thousand other industry professionals.
It is an enormous honor for me to be nominated for the RITA this year in the inspiration catagory, along with seven other women of talent and character. Regardless of who walks away with the lady on the left, I will be cheering and delighted for the honor being paid to my Lord Jesus Christ. It's a win-win situation!
Each Monday I plan to post an interview with one of these amazing women so you can get to know them.
