I wax emotional today talking about why I withdrew THE ORCHID THRONE and WARRIOR OF THE WORLD from the RITA® Awards - and why it was such a painful decision. Also my hopes for the future of RWA.

Why I’m Sticking with RWA

I’m getting back into the groove following a lovely Christmas holiday in Tucson with my family. I didn’t take my laptop, and even read a paper book, staying pretty much offline except for the occasional Instagram post.

It was relaxing and restorative.

When I returned online Friday morning, 12/26, I fell face-first into the the RWA crisis. Since our topic at the SFF Seven this week is whatever is on our minds… well, I don’t have much on my mind besides this. Come on over to find out why I’m sticking.
