And Some Good News – The Future’s Bright…

Well I’m very happy to be able to post something cheering following yesterday’s rather miserable entry (thanks so much to you all for your comments and messages; they do help).

My great friend and great writer, Tania Hershman’s had a special mention by the Orange Award judges, which is not only brilliant, but thoroughly deserved. Congrats to the shortlisted authors too.
This is what was said: 

“We were deeply impressed by the tremendous quality of this year’s new writers,” said Mishal Husain, BBC World News presenter and Chair of judges, “it was a very competitive field and therefore an excruciating process to choose just three of the 80 books we read. The shortlist we eventually decided upon reflects the dynamism and diversity of the entries, showcasing three authors with very different voices but an outstanding talent. We believe their extraordinary novels will appeal to a wide range of readers and also inspire the writers of tomorrow.”

She continues,” We would also like to commend two other authors, Tania Hershman and CE Morgan, whose work stood out for its remarkable quality. We look forward to seeing more of their writing in the future.”
