Lyn: What does it mean to you to be a finalist for a RITA award?<\/p>\n

Julie Klassen: “I have never been a RITA finalist before, so when I learned my book, The Silent Governess<\/span>, was among this year\u2019s finalists, I was thrilled. I have been involved in publishing for fifteen years\u2014long enough to know that the RITA awards are well regarded within the industry. Being a finalist is a true honor. For me, being a finalist means I can justify going to my first Romance Writers of America National Conference. I am very much looking forward to attending. I will have the opportunity to meet and spend time with other authors who write books set in Regency England, learn more about the clothes, servants, history, and etiquette of the time period. Better yet, I will attend my first ball and learn some 19th-century dances. I have a Regency dress and everything!<\/p>\n

I am also looking forward to attending the RITA and Golden Heart awards ceremony during the conference. Whether The Silent Governess <\/span>takes home the coveted RITA statuette or not, I am looking forward to a night to celebrate romance with my other sister-authors.”<\/p>\n
