2010 Golden Heart Finalists announced by RWA




I was so proud to host the 2009 Golden Heart® Ruby-slipped Sisters celebration party yesterday in honor of our new Golden Heart® sisters and brother. That's right. There is a brother among the finalists. I'm not sure if this the first time a man has joined the ranks but I think it's totally AWESOME!
