No Excuses won the 2025 HOLT Award for Best Short Contemporary from Virginia Romance Writers.

No Regrets won the 2023 HOLT Award from Virginia Romance Writers for Best First Book!

The HOLT Medallion Award was named for VRW’s first elected president, Cynthia Holt, and serves as the acronym for Honoring Outstanding Literary Talent. In the early 1990s, there were several contests available to unpublished romance writers, but only a few recognizing the achievements of published writers in romantic fiction. The HOLT has been awarded annually since 1995.

Because readers are the ones who choose the award recipients, I’m so honored!!!! Judging panels are comprised only of avid romance readers who participate with enthusiasm and sincerity. They are looking for a good read, a book they would buy and an author they would follow. Their judging decisions reflect these inclinations. No editors, agents or writers are eligible to judge.
