InterVamption is a Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence finalist!

I can’t believe it. I’m blown away. Stunned. Speechless.

Since I first started writing, I’ve expressed to anyone and everyone how special that contest is to me. How much I love REBECCA, Daphne Du Maurier’s greatest work. (REBECCA is far and away my favorite book. The only book I’ve read more than once–and I’ve read it five times.) Anyone who knows me well knows how many times I’ve said that I’d absolutely love to final in her contest.

And I did! Well, InterVamption did. I’m so proud of her…

The award ceremony will be held at RWA’s national conference in LA. I feel like my dream has already come true merely being a finalist…I can’t imagine it could get better from here.

(In case you were wondering how I handled the news, I screamed and cried and asked the caller if she was playing a sick joke on me. She wasn’t. I’m so glad.)
