I am SOOO excited to announce that our own Denise Hunter has finaled in the Rita Inspirational Contest. The Rita is Romance Writers of America's biggest award, and it's a very prestigious thing to be nominated. Colleen was nominated in the past, and now our Denise for "Convenient Groom".

Thanks K and everyone! I'm still pinching myself. And Rachel, Elle was one of my fav books last year so I wasn't at all surprised to see it on the list.

Congratulations Denise! I loved the book. I just received and started reading Sweetwater Gap. It grabbed me from the first page. Excellent writing. I think you've got another one coming.

Congratulations Denise! I hate that I'm at the mercy of our local library as to what I can read right now. (Books just are not in the Dave Ramsey budget right now.) So I've not had the opportunity to read Convenient Groom yet. I did love Sweetwater Gap and am still holding out hope that the library will get a few more of your titles (and Rachel Hauck's as well!).
