Wow was the first word that came to mind when the representative from the Romance Writers of America® called to say that THE LOST was a finalist for the RITA in the Paranormal Romance category.
Wow! The RITA is the equivalent of an OSCAR in the romance world and my book is a finalist. Wow.
(Can you tell I am still in disbelief and shock and sooooo excited!)
Thank you to RWA and all the judges who took the time to read THE LOST. Thank you to all the final judges who will take their time to read the book.
Many thanks to all of you who have read it and let me know how much you liked it and also, a big thanks to my editors. I hope you will like the second book in the SIN HUNTER series, THE CLAIMED (May 2012), as well.
Wow. A big congrats to all the other RITA finalists as well as all the Golden Heart finalists. I see the names of many friends on both and am totally excited for you! If you want to check out who else is nominated, you can click here to see the list.

I read THE LOST and is was like nothing I have ever read before. The absolute creativity of the story and the characters were phenomenal! You deserve this Caridad. Congratulations!!!
Congrats ❗ ❗ It is a well earned nomination. The Lost was a great book. I am so looking forward to May for The Claimed. I sure am hoping you win this award. Then everyone will know what an incredible author you are.
Congratulations, Caridad! I’m so happy for you! Good luck on the big night! I’ll be cheering for you in California and hopefully celebrating with you afterwards. 😀
Congratulations to all the authors who got a nomination but also to those who didn’t, they still deserve one.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! You may be surprised, but your readers are not. The Lost is a great book. Enjoy your day.—Rachel
