It's with great delight that I announce I have TWO nominations for the British Fantasy Awards! They are THE SHADOW GALAXY for single-author collection and THE INN AT THE AMETHYST LANTERN for fantasy novel. Both these are under my J. Dianne Dotson pen name.
Well, that happened! Gobsmacked to share that THE QUEEN OF THE HIGH FIELDS won Best Novella at the British Fantasy Awards this weekend.
Massive thanks to @LunaPressPublishing, The British Fantasy Society, Writers Bloc and everyone who's read, shared, voted and/or supported this watery Welsh novella.
So much effort and faith and good will from so many people goes into every book. The further I go the more humbled I am. Thank you.
British Fantasy Society is holding their awards ceremony right now (they're 25 minutes in).
