As you can imagine I was completely bowled over when my previous novel, A Glimpse at Happiness, was nominated for the Romantic Novelists' Association's Romantic Novel of the Year in 2010. That's was more than I ever dreamed of so to have a second novel Perhaps Tomorrow also shortlisted is almost unbelievable.
There are four other RNA romantic award categories, contemporary, epic, romantic comedy and young adult and the winner of each category will be announced at the their our Awards Eventin the Gladstone Library on the 5th March.
The winner of the Romantic Novel of the Year will then be selected by a panel of judges from the five RoNA category winners. The winner of the Romantic Novel of the Year will announced and the presentation made at the RNA's Summer Party in May.
Naturally I hope I am the one whose name is pulled out of the envelope as the winner of the Historical Romantic Novel but "Perhaps Tomorrow" is up against some cracking novels;
Highland Storms : Christina Courtenay (Choc Lit)
The Noble Assassin : Christie Dickason (HarperCollins)
Daughter of Siena : Marina Foriato (John Murray)
A Gathering Storm : Rachel Hore (Simon & Schuster)
Whatever the result it's still a thrill to be in the last six for the award and I'm sure it will be a brilliant evening.
