Finalists For the Arnold Bennett Book Prize

Way back in the throws of winter I was urged to enter my crime novel Winter Downs for the Arnold Bennett Book Prize.

I was completely shocked to be told this week that it was amongst the five titles that had been short listed, which are:

• Poetry anthology. A Less Clear Dream by Roger Bloor
• Historic murder mystery Winter Downs by Jan Edwards
• Murder mystery Red is the Colour by Mark L. Fowler
• Dystopian superhero novel Superhero City by Eddie Skelson
• Illustrated children’s book Nana Duck by Kathy Tallentire

The winners to be announced on 9^th June, so much nail biting before then!
