2011 RITA Winners Announced

Submitted by Jennifer A [1] on Fri, 07/22/2011 - 1:26pm

The Iron KingA few weeks ago, I blogged about the nominees for the Romance Writers of America’s [2]annual RITA© awards.  The winners have been announced, and they include many of romance’s best and most popular authors. While not all of my favorites took home awards, I look forward to reading the winning titles and hopefully discovering new favorite authors.  Did any of your favorite authors win?
