Easter Bays Author named as finalist Ngaio Marsh Book Awards

Diane from Orakei

Hi, it was announced on Tuesday that my novel Nikolai's Quest is a finalist in this years Ngaio Marsh Awards for Best Kids/YA Novel. As a child I dreamed of writing a novel like Nikolais Quest. When I held it in my hand with my name on the spine it was a dream come true. Now I'm a finalist in awards named after NZ's late Queen of Crime. So pleased.
If you want to buy a copy, its on my website www.roseandfernpublishing.nz... or Amazon. Paperplus Eastridge and Little Book Shop Remuera might still have copies.
