I turned my phone on silent when I went to the movies on Friday night and forgot to put the sound back on until late Saturday night. Not many people call my cell phone, so normally this wouldn’t be a big deal. This weekend it was though, because on Saturday the Virginia Romance Writers announced their winners of the prestigious HOLT Medallion. And they’d been trying to get a hold of me for a while. Here’s my slightly delayed announcement that VIKING WARRIOR RISING was selected by the reader judges as an Award of Merit Finalist in the Best First Book category …

Astrid Irisdotter is a Valkyrie, a fierce warrior fighting to protect humanity from the evil god Loki and his brutal minions. She’s on an urgent mission for her queen …

VIKING WARRIOR RISING is up for Best First Book and Best Paranormal. I’ve been celebrating pretty much all day. The best part of this is that so many of my author friends are on the lists, including some of my darling Dreamweavers, agent sisters, and a local chapter mate. How awesome is that!?

When people find out that I am a both a romance author and a physicist, their eyebrows usually shoot way up. For some reason, we don’t think of arts mixing with science. The truth is that in order to be a scientist, you have to be very creative. And in every art, there is a piece of applied science. Actress Mayim Bialik, who is also a neuroscience, talked about her dual interests on the TV show The Secret Lives of Scientists and Engineers. Her eloquent words are exactly how I feel about being a physicist and a romance author. 🙂 …

Today is the big day! My debut book is released and about to make its way into the hands of readers.! Before VIKING WARRIOR RISING grew up and became a proper book, it was a want-to-be published manuscript named Valhalla’s King. In early 2014, I got a phone call to tell me that my manuscript was a finalist in the prestigious Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart contest. The best thing about placing high in the contest was to meet the other amazing finalists. We call ourselves the Dreamweavers, because that’s what we do. We weave dreams into reality. This …
