Jane Lovering and Choc Lit triumph at Romantic Novelists Association summer party

Jane's debut, Please Don't Stop the Music, is the first title from indie publisher Choc Lit to win the Romantic Novel of the Year award

Anne Ashurst, RNA chairman, said: 'Warmest congratulations to Jane and my personal thanks for making me hoot with laughter. What an achievement to become Romantic Novelist of the Year with one's first novel for talent-spotting publishers Choc Lit! A great read and well-deserved success.'

Choc Lit also publishes Never Coming Home by Evonne Wareham, which was awarded the Joan Hessayon New Writers Scheme Award, also presented at the RNA summer party.
