Carol Stream, IL (July, 2010) – In an announcement made during the Romance Writers of America (RWA) conference last week in Orlando, Florida, Tyndale House authors DiAnn Mills and Maureen Lang received two of seven awards presented by the “Faith, Hope and Love” chapter of RWA.

“Inspirational Readers Choice” awards for novels published in 2009 were given to Breach of Trust by DiAnn Mills for  the Romantic Suspense category, and Look to the East by Maureen Lang was the winner in the Women’s Fiction category.

Entries were judged by inspirational readers worldwide, and winners were selected from submissions from writers whose worldview, influenced by their faith in the God of the Bible, is woven into the fabric of the book.  Contest coordinator Nancy Farrier announced the winners at the RWA Conference on Wednesday, July 28.  For a complete list of awardees, visit www.faithhopelove-rwa.org/

 Breach of Trust, Book One in the contemporary Call to Duty series about women in dangerous occupations is a compelling story about a former CIA agent who moves to a small town to escape further danger. Breach of Trust also received the Christy Award for Contemporary Romance on June 26, 2010.  DiAnn Mills’ Call to Duty series also includes Sworn to Protect (April, 2010) and Pursuit of Justice (releasing October, 2010.)

French village.  Maureen Lang has written four other Tyndale novels, including Whisper on the Wind (coming September, 2010.)
