Peter Turnham's Blog: Wonderful review of The Price of Freedom - Posts Tagged "prize"

Unknown to me, last December my wife Carol entered my third novel "None Stood Taller" for this prestigious Award, and informed me 'out of the blue' at the beginning of April that my book had been shortlisted for the prize! We had to attend at the announcement of the Award, and this was held at the London Book Fair on 5th April. Accordingly we went up to London for the first time since before the pandemic started, and after looking around this amazing Book Fair, we took ourselves upstairs at the appointed time to the Author HQ for the announcement of the winners in the three categories: Memoir, Children's Fiction and Adult Fiction. Unfortunately I didn't win the actual Award, but it was a great honour to be among that small number of Finalists with what is only my third novel; a great incentive to try again some time with another book!
