Another year has come and gone and RWA has announced it’s newest RITA winners.
For those of you who do not know, RWA (Romance Writers of America) holds a yearly competition to find the best romance book in each genre that has been written by an RWA member. To learn the specifics of this contest click here: The RITA Award
The winners are announced at their annual conference. I didn’t get the opportunity to attend this year but believe me, attending an RWA Conference is on my top “to-do” list! This years convention was held in San Antonio, Texas. From all the pictures and tweets floating around it looks like it was an amazing time. (check out #rwa14) Next years conference will be held in New York! I think I just might have to go visit the Big Apple 😉
