Breaking news from Romance Readers’ Awards

Posted on September 5, 2014 by juliaibbotson

So thrilled that Drumbeats is shortlisted for the awards, and especially because Sarah Taylor, the awards organiser, says this:

“With the highest number of entries the awards have had in their four year history, the standard this year was exceptionally high with many highly rated novels not making the shortlists. The breath and depth of quality writing in romantic fiction should be celebrated and that’s what these awards are all about.”

I’m honoured.
