Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

It's been home repair and fix up month at the homestead, and the blog has languished, unupdated. I'm so sorry. So there are lots of little things to catch you up on.

-If you don't want to talk back to Harlequin, maybe you like to talk to other romance reader and authors at the Romance Novels Forum.

- The RITA awards were announced by the Romance Writers of America. Some of our favorites are on this year's list. Kristan Higgins, Catch of the Day, won best Contemporary Single Title Romance, while Julia Quinn's The Secret Diaries of Miss Miranda Cheevers, won for best Regency Romance, and Best Romantic Suspence was captured by Anne Stuart's Ice Blue. For teens, one of my favorites, Wicked Lovely, by Melissa Marr took the prize.

-Finally, more new Romances keep rolling in, including Suzanne Enoch's, Before the Scandal, Christine Feehan's, Turbulent Sea and Stephanie Laurens', The Edge of Desire. There's always something new in the Romance aisle!
