More about Nationals...Our first promo prize...and a teaser...

Nationals soundbite... "JD couldn't make it tonight, so I'm happy to accept this award in her honor..." --Nora Roberts

Nora was our MC for the RITA ceremony, and her acceptance speech when her alter-ego won the Romantic Suspense category was priceless. She's such a fun lady!!

There were so many amazing moments. I'll try to share a bit each day. And I'll be posting RWA Nationals giveaway prizes several times a week, too.

Here's the early copy of Brenda Novak's(http://brendanovak.com/index2.php) new mainstream thriller and the cool skeletons and $1 off coupon she gave away in the "goodie" room.


I'll draw a name over the weekend from this week's comments, then post another "wish you'd been there" prize package--how about a "Spice" tote bag and one of the 2006 titles from Harlequin's trade paperback erotica imprint???

Oh, and did I mention the teaser??? Check back tomorrow for a new excerpt from All American Father. I'm hard at work on the first draft, and need some company while I paint these characters to perfection ;O)

Thanks to everyone who's let me know how much The Prodigal's Return touched them. I'm getting more emails for this book than any of the others, and I'm so grateful. It's my favorite so far, too, but you never know how something that's perfect in your imagination whill translate onto the page. I'm so glad Jenn and Neal and Nathan's story is touching your hearts.

Got another couple of great reviews over my RWA break--from AllAboutRomance.com and ArmchairInterviews.com. Check them and my local paper interviews out on my homepage.

Happy commenting everyone!!!
