May I wish a warm congratulations to all the winners of the various Romance Writers of America awards. And may I wish an equally warm congratulations to all of the nominees as well – to my mind, as a reader, it seems an amazing thing to be nominated.
I read a lot of books, all different types of genre – so I don’t have any trouble picking up something that I’ve not tried before. I got to thinking while watching the live stream of the awards (well, most aside from a few tech. difficulties *cringe*) ,and following the chatter over on Twitter that it might actually be fun to read and review the 2015 RWA award novels. There’s a variety of length and genre, and best of all romance is at the center. So that is a project to come. But in the meantime, I’m going to list the Categories and the amazing authors who were awarded for their work this year… not only an acknowledgment of the novels and their authors, but a handy list to go by as I read and review those winners.
Here are the 2015 RWA winning authors and their novels:
Best First Book – Run To You by Clara Kensie
Contemporary Romance: Long – Baby, It’s You by Jane Graves
Contemporary Romance Mid-Length – One In A Million by Jill Shalvis
