The Night Before Christmas by Nicola Knight (Bloodhound Books):

I am beyond thrilled to be shortlisted for this incredible award for my debut novel The Night Before Christmas. I have long admired the work of the RNA and to be able to attend the awards ceremony as a shortlisted author is going to be completely surreal! I am so thankful to my publishers for all their wonderful support over the last year – it may be cliched but it really does take a village to create a book and so this is dedicated to Betsy Reavley and everyone at Bloodhound Books for taking a chance on me.

Floating Solo by Shelley Wilson (Self Published):

I was standing in the pouring rain at a train station when I opened the email telling me Floating Solo had been shortlisted. I must have looked slightly deranged as I let out a happy squeal! I’ve supported and celebrated so many incredible RNA authors over the years, and to now be part of this world is an incredible feeling. I’m not sure I’ll ever stop smiling.
