My Tudor novel WITCHSTRUCK, written as
Victoria Lamb and published by Corgi for Young Adult readers, has been shortlisted for an award administered by the
Romantic Novelists' Association.
The award is Young Adult Romantic Novel of the Year, and the winner will be announced, along with winners in other RoNA Awards categories, on February 26th in London. Awards will be handed out by Judy Finnigan and Richard Madeley.

Witchfall.
