All of us here at Waxcreative are bursting with pride to say CONGRATULATIONS to our three RITA® finalists: Maya Banks, Grace Burrowes, and perennial favorite Eloisa James. For a full list of the finalists please see the RWA web page dedicated to RITAs. Congratulations everyone!!

Read an excerpt from Grace’s RITA finalist for Regency Historical Romance, Lady Sophie’s Christmas Wish, Book 3 in her Windham series. Or learn more about Sophie and the Windham family in Grace’s Bonus Materials for this book.

Read the first three chapters of Eloisa’s RITA finalist for Regency Historical Romance, When Beauty Tamed the Beast, one of Eloisa’s Fairy Tales. Or read Eloisa’s Inside Take to learn more about this story.
We’d also like to extend a big w00t to Friend-Of-Wax Stefanie Sloane for her double nod (double w00t) in both the Regency Historical Romance and Best First Book categories.
Four fabulous books, four fabulous authors. We feel privileged to work with you all on a regular basis.
p.s. And because we absolutely love it, we are again trotting out our favorite RITA story of when RWA Hall of Famer (then winning her second RITA) Julia Quinn experienced a wardrobe mishap, and was saved by a well-placed Autographed by the Author sticker.
