Just got an amazing call from Linda Jones from the Romance Writers of America. WARPED is a finalist in two categories for the RITA award, for Best Young Adult Romance and Best First Novel!!!
I knew the calls were going out today but I had just about steeled myself to leave the house and carry on as usual when the phone rang. Out went the sangfroid and in came the gaspy tears. Heck, I don't even know if I just spelled sangfroid right. I don't care.
This is such a thrilling surprise- I'm so honored for my book to be among the stars on those lists!!
To celebrate I'd like to give away some copies. I have 5 paperback copies that I'll sign with hearts and send to random chosen commenters from US or Canada. YIPPEE!
I'll pick the winners 3/27/2012 at 5PM and notify you if you've won
