Virginia Smith: She Did It Again!

Virginia Smith can safely call herself an award-winning novelist. Last year, she won Writer of the Year at Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference in California. Check out our blog post on that award here.

Well---she's done it again! She's a finalist for yet another award. Here's the announcement from straight from Virginia:

"I recently received an exciting bit of news. A Taste of Murder, the first book in the Classical Trio series, has been named a finalist in the Inspirational category of the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense! The winner will be announced at an award ceremony in July during the Romance Writers of America's national conference in Washington D.C."

For details on the RWA contest, go to their website. Find out more about A Taste of Murder and Smith's other mystery novels on her website, where you can read sample chapters of most of her books. Visit the mystery page here.

And---there's still time to register for KY Christian Writers Conference 2009, where Virginia will be teaching fiction workshops.
