I'm so pleased! It is contest season for last years books. (A book can only be entered into a contest in the year after its publication copyright date so this is the reason you don't see current books listed as finalist or winners)
Anyway, I'm excited because I got the call on Friday that DREAM A LITTLE DREAM was given an Award of Merritt in the Holt Medalion Contest in the romantic comedy catagory! This means that it finaled but didn't win :( but still I'm just thrilled anytime my books final in a contest and the Holt is wonderful contest to final in. I chose to take a chance and enter this book in the romantic comedy catagory just to see how it would measure up against other books other than just Inspirational. I was very pleased to see it win an Award of Merritt.
But wait there's more! LOL. On Saturday I got the call that OPERATION:MARRIED BY CHRISTMAS is a finalist in the BOOKSELLERS BEST Contest in the Inspirational catagory! The winner will be anounced in July at the Romance Writers of America conference in San Francisco. This will be my first trip to SF so this will make it an extra special trip.

About Me
- Debra Clopton
- I write fun, sometimes wacky romace for the Love Inspired line from Steeple Hill books. My first book came out in September of 2005 and I've been working furiously ever since. So far all of my books are set in my fictional town of Mule Hollow Texas. It was a place I created where I hoped people would be able to read about the lives of my characters and come away with a big smile. Thanks to a huge amount of readers falling in love with my wacky little town Mule Hollow has become a favorite place for readers to visit time and again. I'm proud to say that I have readers from ages 11 to 101! I've begun to get so much email and letters that I'm ashamed to say I'm horribly behind on returning them...but I'll get there. I'm hoping this blog helps me connect better with you and I look forward to comments from you. Thanks for stopping in and I hope you tell a friend and sign up for my quarterly emails--you might win a prize for doing so! As always, live, laugh and seek God with all your heart, Debra

Congratulations! I love your books. :)
I have read 4 of your books and have loved every one of them. "Mule
Hollow" seems like a wonderful place to live. I just finished "The Cowboy Takes a Bride" and it was uplifting on a
very cloudy stormy day.:)
I have written 5 stories and haven't figured out how to find out
if they are good enough to publish. :(
Thank you for your lovely spirit.:)

Congrats! You have earned the honor. :-) Just today I baked chocolate cupcakes and finished "The Cowboy Takes a Bride." It was wonderful, of course. I have a bit of catching up to do in the Mule Hollow Series, but it can be done. ;-D Have a great day!
