Hello Friends,

I'm proud to announce, that my romantic suspense "Relocating Mia" has placed as a Finalist in the "Fiction & Literature: Chick Lit/Women's Lit" category of the National Best Books 2007 Awards.
Though hopeful, I have never thought I would have a chance of an award in the jungle of great books released in 2006/2007. I will let this one sink in and use it as a good doze of fuel to feed the fire which keeps my writing side 'aflame'. 

I pasted parts of the press release for anyone interested:
