Congratulations to the R*BY finalists!
For all of those not in the know, every year the brilliant women (and a few supporting men) at the Romance Writers of Australia award the best of romance written by Australian and New Zealand authors. Much like the Academy Awards, these awards are highly desired, and the awards ceremony has its fair share of glamour, champagne and the occasional (happy) tears. Oh, and like the Academy Awards, the Romantic Book of the Year awards have a nickname too – the ‘Rubies’.
Below are the finalists for the RWA’s Romantic Book of the Year competition:

Anne Gracie | Bride by Mistake |
Helen Lacey | Marriage Under The Mistletoe |
Sarah Mayberry | More Than One Night |
