WOW!!!!!!

Several months ago I set up a Google Alert for my name + the name of my book. Every now and then Google sends me an email telling me that someone has reviewed my book on their blog or mentioned it on a web forum.

Yesterday Google Alerts told me that Chicklitreviews.com had written a post mentioning the name of my novel and, curious, I clicked through.

OH MY GOD!

'Heaven Can Wait' had been nominated in several categories in the Chicklitreviews.com Awards 2009:

- Best Book of the Year (up against Sophie Kinsella's 'Twenties Girl' and Cecilia Aherne's 'The Book of Tomorrow')

- Debut Novel of the Year (up against Miranda Dickinson's 'Fairytale of New York', Nicky Schmidt's 'Naked in Knightsbridge' and Rebecca Chances' 'Divas')

- Tear-jerker of the Year (up against Elizabeth Noble's 'The Girl Next Door' and Sophie Kinsella's 'Twenties Girl')

- Book Cover of the Year (up against Cecelia Aherne's 'The Book of Tomorrow' and Miranda Dickinson's 'Fairytale of New York')

- Best Male Character (up against Luis in 'Chasing Daisy', Ed in 'Fairytale of New York', Dan in 'A Vintage Affair', Ed in 'Twenties Girl')

And if that wasn't exciting enough I only bloody WON two of the categories...
