The Romantic Novelists' Association Pure Passion Awards night 2011 was FABULOUS!
Just look at this room
look at the Award Stars
look at the Ladies !
I didn't win the Love Story of the Year award, but I was thrilled that my lovely friend and Cambridge-Chapter-mate Louise Allen did for her fabulous historical romance The Piratical Miss Ravenhurst. And then another great friend Elizabeth Chadwick won the Historical Novel prize and a third, Jill Mansell, won the Romantic Comedy prize! I don't think it will be any great surprise to learn that more champagne appeared roundabout then...
The full list is:
RNA Love Story of the Year: The Piratical Miss Ravenhurst by Louise Allen
RNA Historical Novel Prize: To Defy A King by Elizabeth Chadwick
RNA Romantic Comedy Prize: Take A Chance On Me by Jill Mansell
RNA Romantic Novel of the Year: The Last Letter From Your Lover by Jojo Moyes
Lifetime Achievement Stars went to Penny Jordan and Josephine Cox

It looks like a fantastic do, one day I must actually make it there. And Jan, you look FABULOUS! Very glam. Love the dress!
Thanks, K8! You really must get there next year.
Glad the dress worked. I had to forego cake for weeks to get into it.
Thanks for the peek, looks like all kinds of fun!
(I'd have to give up cake and have body transplant to look like that - dang, girl!)

Ha! All done with mirrors, m'dear.
Thanks for the excellent photos. I love your dress too.
I was so cross I couldn't make it there this year and will definitely have to make sure I go next time.
A brilliant event and you looked divine!
