11th Annual RBL Romantica Hughies Awards

Just about anyone who knows me, knows that Karen Marie Moning is one of my top favorite authors. I actually joined her message board -- not something I do very often -- and it is the only author board I visit. Following blogs is another story all together LOL Anyway, while checking the board this morning I came across this:

WOHOO! Karen is the Diva of Romance according to RBL Romantica!
Every year the members of RBL nominate and vote on their favorites in a varity of catagories and Karen won 6 of the 24 catagories PLUS the Diva of Romance Award!
