My book Rx For Trust was a finalist in Contemporary Romance
We arrived in Williamsburg on a gloomy, cold and rainy Thursday afternoon, but luckily Friday was partly sunny and Saturday was gorgeous and allowed us to enjoy a lovely time walking and exploring historical Williamsburg. Here is the William and Mary Law School.
Meeting friends from The Wild Rose Press and FRW was a lovely bonus.
Here with Keena Kincaid (Ties That Binds, Paranormal finalist) 
With Debra Webb Rogers from The Wild Rose Press
With Lyn Armstrong from FRW.
The highlights of the conference were the presentations of Angela Knights on Writing Sex Scenes and that of her husband Lt. Mike Woodcock on Hostage Negotiation. Angela added her part on how to use Hostage Negotiation in a Romantic Suspense.
Debra Dixon talked about Developing your Voice during her keynote presentation.

I so enjoyed meeting you and just hanging out. I agree that Williamsburg is a lovely town. I want to go back when it's busy and spend a couple of days there.
Does anyone know who won the Epic Award in the Children's and YA categories?
So sorry you didn't win, Mona. I thought your book was great! It was a well-deserved finalist.
Congrats to all the winners and big congrats for being a finalist:)
