I’ve been in a state of amazed shock since I received the call yesterday informing me that my manuscript, The Lazarus Gambit, is a 2012 Golden Heart^® finalist in the Novel with Strong Romantic Elements (NSRE) category. The Golden Heart^® is the award from the Romance Writers of America^® that honors unpublished romance manuscripts in 2011.

Congratulations to all of the RITA^® and Golden Heart^® finalists!
