The RoNAs 2017

A week ago Dave (my hubby) and I had a lovely evening at the Romantic Novelists Association Novel Of the Year Awards. (RoNAs) - a glittering occasion with canapés and bubblies in the Gladstone Library in Whitehall Place, London.



This is the reception area, isn't it amazing!

'Beloved Enemy' was on the shortlist for the Paranormal/Speculative fiction section. (I may have mentioned this before :) ) The other nominees were Christinea Courtenay with 'The Velvet Cloak of Midnight', Jan Jones with 'An Ordinary Gift' and Kate Johnson's 'Max Seventeen.'

I didn't win - the winner was Kate Johnson with her gritty SF novel, 'Max 17' a very worthy winner I might add. I had no expectations of winning, myself, I was just thrilled to be on the shortlist!

The wine was flowing!

What a brilliant evening - this was my first time at a RoNA Awards ceremony and it certainly lived up to expectations!
