I'm delighted to say that Ecataromance, the electronic publishing arm of Catanetworks, have given A Secret Treasure one of their Reviewers' Choice Awards for 2008. I'm really pleased with this, because A Secret Treasure is one of my quieter, sweeter stories.
In it I tried to weave a romance appropriate for the 1930s into a story growing out of the real tensions of living on an idyllic island (Rhodes) occupied by a foreign country (Italy). Agatha Christie set a Hercule Poirot whodunit on Rhodes in the same period (Triangle at Rhodes, a short story from 1936).
Details of A Secret Treasure are here.

Yippedy Skippedy, Lindsay! I'm so happy for you; I really enjoyed this book. You deserve it! It couldn't happen to a nicer person.Congratulations!
Thank you, Bekki and Francesca! What was delightful and strange is that another writer pal of mine, Portia da Costa, also won an award for her GOTHIC HEAT from catanetworks and we were due to meet up the following day! We have now done so and raised many coffees and teas in celebration!
Portia posted on the Passionate Ink forum, so I got to congratulate her.
