Wow!

My entry in the 2007 Brava Novella Contest made it to the Reader's Choice finals! I'm totally jazzed about that. It's a medieval historical set in France, about a comte who returns from crusade to a wife he hasn't seen in six years, trying desperately to forget the huge scandal she caused while he was away. Obviously, I'm excited that my entry was chosen as a finalist out of the 300+ entries, but I'm also thrilled a medieval historical made it to the final round.

I'm sending out huge thanks to the Brava authors who graciously gave up their time to judge a massive volume of entries, to Kensington for sponsoring the contest, and to Walt Stone and the ladies on the Brava Novella contest thread who made the whole process fun and easy. There will be nine other sets of finalists announced over the coming weeks, and if you entered, here's hoping your entry finals, too.

I have my fingers crossed that Kate Duffy at Kensington really likes what she reads (she's judging the twenty finalists to choose an overall winner). Can't hurt, right?
