Reader Crown Winners and RomCon14

We are back from the RomCon14 in Denver, Colorado, and we couldn't be more excited about our big news:

A Touch of Darkness is the winner of the Reader Crown Award in the Urban Fantasy genre! We feel very honored. A huge thank you to all the readers who made this possible!

Tina Moss and moi after receiving our Reader Crown Award!

The event was wonderful. After the Award Luncheon, we participated in our first big book signing and had lots of fun.

Following the signing, we had a blast sponsoring a game table at the Heather Graham's Dance & Karaoke Party. It was a Decades themed party, and we represented the 90s. We played Uno and Blackjack with readers, authors and organizers Jennifer Zane and Michelle Callahan. My hubby, Tommy, really got into the fun and played blackjack for hours. We had a blast.

Thank you to the organizers for the wonderful event. We can't wait to go again next year!

I also want to extend a special thank you to my husband for all the unbelievable support you always give me, and for being our RomCon slave (the title he had chosen for himself) for Tina and I during the weekend. I love you, honey!
