Women’s Fiction Finalist

The nice folk from Wisconsin just sent me a lovely badge to place on my blog, but, being technically challenged, I can’t seem to make it sit anywhere permanently. I tried using an Image Widget. Nothing. So, here it is, taking center stage in this post.

The purple goes well against this black background, don’t you think? (she asks, fluttering her fingers so you’ll notice the new polish, dyed to match. [And, no, I never wear nail polish. That’s my alter ego, the one who peeks from behind the pillar to see what’s going on over in RWA-land. My permanent writer self plunks down on the sofa — either at home or on board SV — in her jeans and turtleneck, imagining worlds and watching tides.])
