Got the Golden Heart® phone call!

I finaled twice in the his­tor­i­cal cat­e­gory of this inter­na­tional writ­ing com­pe­ti­tion spon­sored by Romance Writ­ers of Amer­ica®, which hon­ors the best unpub­lished romance manuscripts.

My medieval man­u­scripts The Kinds Of Want­ing and Want­ing Fin­ian both were chosen.

Thank-you to all the GH judges! And to those who entered but did not final this time, stay with it! Per­sis­tence can over­come all.
