RITA Winner!
|
Oh my goodness!
The RWA Conference was spectacular in so many ways. How could it not be? I mean, I was presented with jewelry and cake! (Thanks, Diana, Edna, Carrie, Lisa, and Marni!)
But my highlight of the year (and many years!) came on Saturday night, when I was honored to receive the 2012 RITA Award for Regency Historical Romance, for A Night to Surrender!
I can’t even describe how much this meant to me. To receive a RITA award is a tremendous honor, and to have it happen so close to home, with so many friends and my husband in attendance — it was like a dream come true.
Thank you to all the readers, friends, and colleagues who made this conference so special!

CONGRATULATIONS, Tessa!! I’m happy for you and you deserved it, a great honor, I’m glad you’ve got to bring the RITA’s trophy home. I read your books and love everyone of them, incl “One Night to Surrender”, it’s great fun to read, no wonder you won! I’m (impatiently) waiting to read “A Lady By Midnight”, 28th Aug. doesn’t come fast enough. Keep great stories coming for us to enjoy, okay. 😀
P.S. Looked like your OSCAR’s night in that pic. 😉
