As promised, here are more pics from the RITA awards ceremony held in Dallas this past Saturday, and a few from prior to that night at the RWA National Conference.
Below:
Me with my editor, Karen Schurrer, who was also honored for her collaboration on Revealed.
Above: Me with authors Judy Baer and Deeanne Gist (Dee writes for Bethany House, and she won the Christy Award this year). Judy and Dee were nominees along with me in the Best Inspirational Category, and both are friends as well as colleagues. I'm honored to be named with them.

(My mom and I had such fun girl time this past weekend. She's such a blessing to me, and to share this with her was extra special.)
