I’ve dreamed of writing this particular post for so many years that it’s difficult to believe I’m actually typing it. Earlier this summer I submitted my latest novel, A Hill In France, to Choc Lit; a multi-award winning British independent publisher. Although A Hill In France isn’t a traditional romance (the storyline includes a horrific, factual event), I’m beyond delighted to reveal that three of my books have been accepted for publication. Ruby Fiction is Choc Lit’s new imprint and where my books will belong.
I’ve admired Choc Lit Publishing for many years after becoming online friends with several of their authors. I’m always impressed by how fabulous their book covers look, the support the authors give to one another and how often Choc Lit’s name crops up in competition shortlists and winning books. I’m overwhelmed to be joining their team of authors and am looking forward to meeting them and working alongside them.
Many congratulations to Caroline James and Carol Thomas who have also joined Choc Lit’s Ruby Fiction.
Congratulations Angela! Can't wait to read your books xx

PS. On your advice I'll resuscitate my blog (on andycmiller.co.uk/category/blog), starting with a post about your success.
Thank you, Andy. As I've said many times, it's your critiquing and advice (along with Frances, Gaynor and Paul's) that has helped to improve each chapter I've written. As you say - here's to the next ten years of writing!
ReplyDeleteGood news about blogging more often and thank you so much for starting with my good news.

Historical novel set in France that includes a horrific event and is not enough of a romance for Choc Lit? It sounds like something I read for their Tasting Panel. If so, I'm glad it'll be published.
ReplyDeleteThat means so much to me, Isabelle. Thank you so much. x
DeleteCongratulations, Angela. I'm really pleased for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Keith. I'm still in a bit of a daze. Hope your writing is going well and your keyboard is getting plenty of action! : )
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Angela, so pleased for you; and it's very good news your books will be leading a new Choc Lit imprint.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Carol. It's very exciting and I'm trying not to wish the months away until 2018 and publication.
ReplyDeleteI meant to ask on Carol Thomas's Book Boyfriend Blind Date post, but as my answer was "blocked as suspected bot" I thought it would be better here.
ReplyDeleteWasn't your first Ruby Fiction book supposed to be A Hill in France (or whatever they decide to rename it)? Not that I would mind reading another one. I just wonder if I had misunderstood or if the plans changed.
So sorry, I have just spotted your comment - it's May 17th!! You're right, but A Hill In France has been renamed, Arlette's Story. Its cover reveal is tomorrow and it can be pre-ordered from tomorrow too! xx
