 Last week I had a trip to London, to the RNA's Romantic Novel Awards. It was an exciting in many ways - the first RoNAs I'd been to and the furthest from home I'd travelled since before the pandemic! London was lovely - sunny and crisp and quietly buzzing. The awards were held at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, right near the Tower of London. Having arrived fairly early, despite train disruptions, I took a walk along the Thames path before checking in.  Across the water was Mills & Boon HQ, right next to the Shard Building.  The ceremony was fabulous with a great atmosphere and much excitement as the nominees and winners were announced. It was great to see no less than five nominees from HMB in the Shorter Romantic Novel category.          It was also fab to see fellow historical author Lucy Morris nominated for the Katie Fforde Best Debut Novel and Virginia Heath for the Best Historical Romantic Novel categories.     A moving tribute was paid to Jane Wenham-Jones and so fit
