There’s been a bit of excitement in my house this week…. and a very warm and fuzzy feeling for the US state of Colorado.
The reason – The Wild One is a finalist in the Colorado Romance Writers Award of Excellence. Excellence! What a truly… um… excellent word that is.
I’m having a bit of a fan girl moment about this too, because a couple of my favourite US authors are on the same shortlist. (You can see the full shortlist here.) People always say it’s an honour to be on a shortlist, and in this case that’s totally true. To be mentioned in the same breath as such authors is just… awesome!
The Wild One is shortlisted in section for mainstream novels with strong romantic elements.
Last year, Flight To Coorah Creek won the Aspen Gold Readers Choice Award in the same category. That award is presented by the heart of Denver RWA chapter.
They like me in Colorado! And that’s great. Because I rather like Colorado too.
When webmaster John and I were living in the US, we made two trips to the South West – through Colorado, Texas, Arizona. We thoroughly enjoyed both trips.
So as a tribute to the readers of Colorado who have taken my Aussie outback town of Coorah Creek to their hearts… here are some of my fondest memories of their beautiful state.
