Back to books - and great news


I'm so happy to be able to announce that my December 2005 Mills And Boon Modern Romance - The Antonakos Marriage had won the Best MB Modern of 2005 Award on Cata Romance

I spotted the news in their special 'slideshow' presentation last night just before I switched off the computer and this morning I checked out their printed list on their Awards page and then thought it was all a dream as my title wasn't there! But I'm assured this was just a typo that will be put right asap . And another check of the slideshow presentation shows it's still there!

I was also delighted to see the names of some dear friends on the list too - The Consultant's Christmas Proposal by Kate Hardy won Best Harlequin Medical -
Best MB Tender went to The Marriage Miracle by Liz Fielding (both very deserving wins in my book)

Other M&B wins were -

Best MB Medical - The Doctor's Special Touch by Marion Lennox
Best Harlequin Presents - His Wedding-Night Heir by Sara Craven
Best Harlequin Romance - Contracted: Corporate Wife by Jessica Hart

So I'm celebrating! And when I celebrate I like to share - so I'm running a special Blog contest with a chance to win one of two signed copies of The Antonakos Marriage.

All you have to do is to tell me the name of the hero and heroine of this book. It's not difficult to find out the answer - just check out my web site where you'll find the details you need.

Then email me your answer from here or from the web site and Sid the Cat will pick the two winners. This may be your only chance to grab a copy of the UK edition at least as that sold out on the M&B web site even before December was over.

American readers - The Antonakos Marriage is coming your way later in 2006 - in August I believe.

Good Luck!

Absolute congrats Kate.

I loved TheAntonakos marriage when I read it. Absolutely unputdownable!

A well deserved award

Congratulations! I have to admit that I haven't read it so can't comment but I'm sure it's wonderful. I mean, how else would it have won?

Y'know, that's the one thing I really don't like about M&B, the fact that you have to grab it now or forever go without.

Thank you all so much for the lovely messages of congratulations - they added an extra warmth to a special moment.

Michelle, konwing the circumstances in which you read TAM, I'm truly complimented that it was unputdownable

Anne - well, you had to live with my Theo before he was published so I'm glad he was worthy of all that attention.

Kate Walker said...

Thank you Anna - but you're no slouch in the writing stakes yourself - I loved Another Woman's Son. . .
No - hang on - that doesn't read quite right!!
I mean I loved the book you wrote that was called Another Woman's Son.
There - that's better. But then again the first is true as well!

Sharon - I got your contest entry

Thanks and good luck
