Captive Ties 1st Place in the Romance Writers of Australia's 20 Years of Romance Covers!


On Saturday night I logged into Twitter so I could follow the award ceremony for the Romance Writers of Australia's 20th conference. And nearly fell off my chair when I saw that the cover of Captive tied for first place in the Historical Section along with my lovely writing friend Tamara Gill's A Captain's Order, A Duke's Command! Thank you to everyone who voted :-)



Stunning covers!! The full line up of finalists can be found here and details of the winners of the RWA 2011 Awards Night can be found here along with a couple of pics.

Congrats, Christina!!! It was a great moment to see the winner/s announced and I was cheering so hard when I saw your cover come up. :-)

Hope you get a certificate of recognition or something from the contest so you canhang it up next to your cover on the wall at home.

Excellent, Christina. That cover is just so amazing.

Thanks Kylie! I would probably have burst into tears if I'd been there that night!! lol!

Oh wow, a certificate would be awesome. I haven't heard anything though, so perhaps only the overall winner got one?
