2006 LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD to Susan Elizabeth Phillips
For a complete list of the nominees go to the Romance Writers of America official website.
A few things:
Beforehand, I had champagne with Victoria Alexander and Stephanie Laurens. We went out to dinner after, since Victoria was a nominee and a little too nervous to eat. She didn't win: we still had fun (the champagne helped).
I'm leaving on a jet plane at the crack of dawn tomorrow. It's been great and I really am working on PHOTOS.
And ALL typos are mine. If I spelled a name wrong remember: It's five minutes to midnight!!

Thanks for the update! I've been on pins and needles since I didn't get to go this year. And Victoria's a winner in my book, no matter what! Love her, love her books!
