THE HOUSE ON THE SHORE BY VANILLA HEART PUBLISHING AUTHOR VICTORIA HOWARD WINNER OF HONORABLE MENTION IN FICTION AT PRESTIGIOUS 2009 LONDON BOOK FESTIVAL

Vanilla Heart Publishing is pleased to announce that The House on the Shore, by Victoria Howard, has been awarded honorable mention in The London Book Festival, http://www.londonbookfestival.com/, bringing authors to the attention of the international publishing community.

The House on the Shore is a romantic suspense novel set in Scotland. It interweaves the lives of Anna, a scholar who is reaching for her long-buried creative dreams, and Luke, an American artist, who is running from his tumultuous past. One man stands between them and happiness. And survival.

Recently, The House on the Shore was shortlisted for the Joan Hessayon New Writers Award 2009, presented by the Romantic Novelists' Association, the United Kingdom's counterpart to Romance Writers of America.

“The House on the Shore is a sensually suspenseful story filled with non-stop action, romance, and mystery. The facts of Scotland are told with brilliant description that bring the land to life and leave you feeling as if you have stepped out of your world and into the pages. Ms. Howard uses such passion and emotion when telling her story, making the tale flow right along until the last page is turned. With many different characters that will keep you guessing, this novel is the perfect example of how a suspenseful story should be told. …Thrilling until the very end, this book has a who-done-it attitude with such an aching tone of sensuality and love, it will keep you up all night just so you can finish this fantastic tale.” —Danielle. Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance & More
