I’m thrilled to announce WILDE IN LOVE is a finalist in the NJ Romance Writer’s Golden Leaf Contest for published books in the Short Contemporary Category (40,000-60,000 words). The books were judged by booksellers, librarians, readers’ groups, and romance readers. Thank you NJRW contest judges! And thank you, readers, for taking a break from your busy lives to sit back, relax, and enjoy a Wilde romance with me. ~ But that’s not all… Another Candlewood Falls novel, TAKING ROOT by Stacey Wilk, is a double finalist in the “Mid-Contemporary” category (60,000-80,000 words) AND “Best Book By A New Jersey Romance Author” category. Congratulations, Stacey! Keep your fingers crossed for Stacey and me. Winners will be notified in December.
