ARRA Awards
I’ve been smacked by a friend for forgetting to put this news up here on my blog. My excuse is that I was traveling, but I’m home now, and so . . .
I went to the ARRA (Australian Romance Readers Association) Awards night in Sydney a couple of weeks ago, and was thrilled to receive four awards:
Strongest heroine (Jane Chance in The Spring Bride)
Favorite Historical (The Spring Bride)
Favorite Continuing Romance Series (The Chance Sisters)
and Favorite Australian Romance Author.
So here’s a picture of me, grinning like a loon on the night.
It was a huge honor — these awards are voted on by readers — and the full list of finalists is here.
So it was a very exciting night for me and topped off a wonderful day where I had high tea with a bunch of lovely readers, and then the dinner.
Thank you to ARRA for organizing these awards and events. Congratulations to all the other winners and finalists — the list of winners is here.
I’ve already congratulated you elsewhere, but this is where you should get HUGE congratulations! I think the fact that these awards are voted for by readers says it all.
Thanks so much for your congratulations and support, both here and elsewhere, Helena. I was truly thrilled and honoured that readers chose my books and me.
