Bought: Damsel in Distress is up for the RNA's Joan Hessayon New Writers' Scheme Award!!
Here's what the website says... "The New Writers’ Scheme aims to encourage fresh talent in the writing of broadly romantic novels that reflect all aspects of love and life, contemporary or historical ... The award is generously sponsored by Dr David Hessayon, in honour of his late wife Joan, who was a longstanding member of the RNA and a great supporter of the New Writers’ Scheme."
I've been a member of the RNA since 2006 and submitted two full and one partial to the NWS. I can't recommend it highly enough. The depth and scope of the feedback is awesome, and absolutely priceless.
The other two (fabulous) shortlisted books are:
Pursued by Love by Georgia Hill (E-Scape)
Divorce Etiquette by Monique deVere (Wild Rose Press)
The winner will be announced at the Summer Party in London next Thursday. Agh. My nails are rapidly disappearing. Wish me luck!!

Hi, Lucy,
Good luck. {Gentle correction--it's DeVere not deVere ;)}
Hugs,
Monique
Thanks, all. Sorry, Monique, about getting your name wrong!
Wishing you all the luck in the world. Absolutely LOVED your book and if the phone lines were open for a public vote I'd be ringing in right now.
