Just a quickie driveby post for a WU squee! We have early word from dearauthor.com that valued contributor Barbara O’Neal has won a RITA award for her book THE LOST RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS! Her category was Novel with Strong Romantic Elements. 

Blogmama Therese Walsh’s novel THE LAST WILL OF MOIRA LEAHY was also nominated for Best First Book, and while I will remain silent on the GRIEVOUS TRAVESTY that it was passed over for the award (lol, my own humble opinion), the positive news is that a nomination in this tightly contested category is also an honor. THE LAST WILL OF MOIRA LEAHY releases in trade paperback this week and is a Target Book Club recommendation. More on that later.

For now, congratulations to all RITA nominees and winners!
