Shortlisted

I've talked about Linda Gillard's novel Star Gazing several times on Cornflower (my original post is here), most recently when I mentioned that it was on the longlist for the Romantic Novelists' Association Romantic Novel of the Year Award. Well, I am delighted to tell you that it has made the shortlist, and deservedly so!

You can visit the RNA site and see what you think of the competition, but fingers crossed for Linda and her book when the judges announce their decision on the 10th. of February.

Thanks, Cornflower, for flagging this up again. Most of the press coverage has been for Cecelia Ahern and chick lit. It was interesting and gratifying to see that the Guardian Online led with the "middle-aged blind widow" angle.

It was lovely to meet all the authors yesterday. Susanna Kearsley had come from Canada!

I'm over the moon (the girl's working well!) to learn that Linda's Star Gazing is on the short list! Let's hope this wonderful novels wins the hearts and minds of the judges!
