Every year at the RomantiCon© Saturday night banquet, we announce awards to our authors. It's a highlight of the night for many attendees. We give trophies to our Rising Stars--any author in attendance who had their first book with EC in the past year.

I was so sorry not to be able to attend, it looked like huge fun and a great chance to meet people.
I got my Pillar Award, and I'm thrilled to bits with it. It's now sitting in my cabinet, and it looks awesome.
A very elegant clear column with my name and the award engraved on it, which sits in a black pedestal, which, completely brilliantly, lights up. You get a rainbow reflected through the pillar.
Thank you very much. It puts my EPPIEs to shame!
I was so surprised and pleased with my Superstar Award for Brothers In Arms! Thanks again to everyone at EC for a great convention. The award really is quite pretty. I like to turn it on and watch it glow in the dark. Which sound weird. lol.
The award is beautiful and I'm thrilled you guys gave me one for GINGER SNAP :)
Thanks EC, you guys rock! Congrats to the other winners!
Romanticon was a blasty-blast! And the awards ceremony capped it all off perfectly. Thanks EC, Jaid and editor Jillian Bell.
Romanticon was amazing, and I'm so glad I got to be there and meet so many wonderful people! Thank you soo soo much for the award and I love how it lights up the room :)
