I couldn’t believe it when my phone rang this morning. And then, when my caller announced she was from RWA®, my heart skipped a few beats. Come to think of it, my heart might have actually stopped when she told me this:
THE MATTER OF SOULS (now titled FOLLOWING YOU) finaled in RWA’s Golden Heart® contest!
Ahhhh! It’s still sinking in, but I’m incredibly happy right now.
Maybe Mondays aren’t so bad after all…
HAPPY DANCE!!!! Congratulations, Stephanie. This is so deserved.
And I know it’s just the beginning of wonderful things for you and your writing.

I’m from the 2009 GH .
Thank you, Rita! Yes, I’m planning on going to Anaheim this year…so exciting. See you there!
Congratulations Stephanie! I’m thrilled to learn you are a Golden Heart finalist. Definitely enjoy the ride. I judged A Matter of Souls in the Rebecca contest and am not surprised it’s your finaling manuscript. I hope the Golden Heart means you are closer to selling it so I can read the rest of the story. I still remember what an amazing job you did.
Thank you so much, Louise!!!
