Renee C. » Celebrating those gals wins with you, Renee 🙂
Wow Rel, I didn’t look to see what books were in each category. I just looked now and I don’t know how I would’ve called it. You came close in each! I am glad Ronie, Lisa, and Julie won. Great authors with great books! Each year they get better and better so it is hard to choose.
Andi » I think this has been one of the best years for nominations and winners
As an author for Revell, I’m happy to see Baker Publishing Group authors so well-represented. Also happy for all who won! Well deserved.
Ann Shorey » It must be a great night, don’t you think, Ann? Have you been before?
No, I haven’t attended. Wish I could, but I’m usually saving my money for other travels, like the ACFW conference. 🙂
