Abigail Strom, author of Tell Me, Wins RITA Award
Abigail Strom’s novel, Tell Me, was awarded the Romance Writers of America 2018 RITA Award for Contemporary Romance: Mid-Length. Tell Me was published in 2017 by Amazon Publishing’s Montlake Romance imprint.
Abigail Strom started writing stories at the age of seven and has never been able to stop. On her way to becoming a full-time writer, as a student, she won several awards. Now she is an Amazon bestselling author, her career started with Harlequin and currently writes for Montlake Romance. Her books have been translated into several languages. In addition to contemporary and college romance, Abigail writes the steamy paranormal Blood and Absinthe series under the name Chloe Hart. She is also the author of the self-published Hart University series, the first book of which was a 2016 RITA finalist.
The RITA Awards are presented by Romance Writers of America (RWA) to honor excellence in published romance fiction. The award is a golden statuette of Rita Clay Estrada, RWA’s first president.
“I am humbled and thrilled to be a finalist among so many talented writers,” said Strom.
Strom’s Tell Me, book one in her Love Me series, is an emotional tale about an unlikely pair who discover an unexpected new beginning. Shy bookstore owner Jane Finch grew up hiding in the margins of her own life while her vibrant, adventure-loving sister, Samantha, dominated every plotline. She’s made peace with it, unlike Sam’s business partner, Caleb, who’s always nudging Jane to go after what she really wants. Jane and Caleb have never had much in common, except for Sam. But when tragedy strikes, Jane and Caleb set out on a dramatic journey to honor Sam’s memory, and the attraction they’ve denied for years ignites into flame.
“Congratulations to Abigail on this outstanding acknowledgment,” said Mikyla Bruder, Publisher of Amazon Publishing. “We are delighted to see Abigail and Tell Me honored with this award, and look forward to connecting more readers with Tell Me.”
