That’s correct. We’re 3 weeks away from the RITA awards, and this week I wanted to spotlight Carla Capshaw and Judy Duarte.
The Gladiator by Carla Capshaw is a Steeple Hill Love Inspired Historical release. (Am I the only one who pictures Russell Crow at the word gladiator?) Carla’s book is actually a DOUBLE finalist – and how cool is that! She’s up for Best First Book and Best Inspirational.
Carla began writing at the same time I did – 2000. She’s also a double Golden Heart winner. If you haven’t read any of her books, you can check them all out on her webpage.
Judy Duarte is up for an award for Entertaining Angels. This is not the first
book in a series, so you’ll have fun catching up and reading previous works by Judy if you’re new to her novels–then get a copy of Entertaining Angels.
One fascinating thing about Judy is that she’s published books with some big name ladies–Debbie Macomber, Fern Michaels, and JoAnn Ross. Judy has a lot of books out, so check her website to see what’s available.
On Saturday I’ll continue with part 4 of 5 in my Shipshewana posts, and next Wednesday we’ll have another RITA spotlight. Thanks for stopping by today!
