I had to put that in the title line because, as far as titles go, it is so very grand. What it is... The Colorado Romance Writers annual contest for published romance books, which they've called
The Award of Excellence. Authors enter their own books so you're judged against the other entered books. Correspondence says that entries were high and competition fierce in the Short Contemporary category, and given the other finalists I choose to believe that is true.
Wedded in a Whirlwind ~ Liz Fielding
The Daddy Dilemma ~ Karen Rose Smith
The Tycoon's One-Night Revenge ~ Bronwyn Jameson
The Billionaire' s Bought Mistress ~ Annie West
And Baby Makes Four ~ Mary J. Forbes
The winner is announced at the Romancing the Rockies conference on May 1-2. Quade: The Irresistible One and The Rugged Loner also were finalists in this contest so I'm hoping for third time lucky.
