Thank you to Elisa and all the judges. Thank you so much.

Wow. WOW. Thank you SO MUCH. This is such a thrill and an honour, and I'm completely overwhelmed and delighted and, and, and!

"City of Jade" was such a labour of love for me and just seeing it here among all the other amazing titles, being in the company of so many incredible authors, so much talent, is the best feeling. Thank you again, and congratulations to my fellow finalists and to all the honourable mention winners.

WOW! What wonderful news to wake up to.

Firstly many thanks to Elisa for running the Rainbow Awards, and gratitude to the judges for their efforts.

Good luck to everyone and I count myself honored to have my debut novel listed among such a wonderful collection of stories.

I may have trouble wiping the grin off my face today...

Cheers,

Elisa, you do a great work.
(for my part, I've forgotten a category for my submitted book, by now)
I would be happy to see my book in this list, at least. Meanwhile, along the finalists, I thank you for your work.
