All fabulously worthy winners and a splendid evening
Wish I'd been there. Well done everyone for keeping romance alive with well-written novels. Today's world needs it more than ever.
Well done all winners and well done the organisers - your hard graft is much appreciated... even by those RNA members who didn't quite make it to the awards (me, this year). This is hugely valuable work in terms of promoting our industry.
Congratulations to all winners! Big TBR pile coming up!
