Cold Fury by Toni Anderson (Self Published):

It’s an amazing feeling to be short-listed for such a prestigious award. Writing is a solitary endeavour and for a book to connect with readers and to be recognized by judges is truly thrilling.

The Memory of Us by Dani Atkins (Aria/Head of Zeus):

I am honoured and incredibly excited to be nominated in The Romantic Thriller category. I had so much fun writing a love story set against a backdrop of mystery and intrigue. And as I never plot, the twists and turns of the book took me by surprise every single day. I am absolutely thrilled that the reader judges enjoyed The Memory of Us so much that they chose to nominate it for this award.

Freja Born by Jessi A. Charles (Austin McCauley):

I am both honored and humbled to be shortlisted for the RNA Award. It’s one thing to feel a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment with one’s self when finishing a novel, and, quite another to be recognized for it.

Deadly Treasures by Jane McParkes (Self Published):

The wonderful news came as I was nearing the end of five months of my most recent cancer-induced ‘house-arrest’ and was the shaft of light I needed to pierce my gloom and get my writing mojo back. It has definitely helped me make the important shift from cancer survivor to cancer thriver and start enjoying life again. So thank you!
