The first information about the 2014 Rainbow Awards has been released over the past week, and although we're not sure whether or not there's more to come we thought this would be a good moment to bring you up to date with what's been announced so far - 'Honourable Mentions' for:
THE BRIDGE ON THE RIVER WYE by Adam Fitzroy
A THREEFOLD CORD by Julie Bozza
DANCE OF STONE by Jay Lewis Taylor
To quote Elisa on the subject, "an honorable mention means a judge gave a rate of 36 or above out of 40 to the book; an honorable mention doesn't mean the book is automatically among the finalists".
The next phase of announcements can be expected at the beginning of October, and we look forward eagerly to seeing how these and our other books have fared. We will say, though, that we entered six eligible books this year (Chris's GAME ON, GAME OVER and Liz's HUNTED, having been published previously, did not meet the criteria) and to have achieved such a high percentage of Honourable Mentions is incredibly reassuring; we're actually starting to think that we may be doing something right!
