ARRA Award Nominations

I have not one but two nominations in the Australian Romance Readers Association ARRA annual awards which will be announced at the Australian Romance Readers Conference in March.

This is a big honour for me because this is voted on by the Australian Romance Readers. I have two different stories finalling in two different categories. If you want to read more about ARRA or their conference check out the links below the finalist categories.

There are SO many talented authors nominated here and I am extremely proud to be in such company. Quite a few of these authors are my friends and I am just as happy to see their names as I am to see my own. I love this community. I want to wish the Best of Luck to all of the authors nominated for these awards.
