News tips

The $60,000 Orange Prize is open to any novel by a woman published in English.
This year, American writer Patricia Wood and two other first-time novelists are among six finalists.
Wood is nominated for her debut novel "Lottery," the tale of a jackpot winner that was inspired by her own father's $6 million win in the Washington State lottery.
The shortlist also includes two other first novels: "The Outcast," by Britain's Sadie Jones; and "Lullabies for Little Criminals," by Canadian writer Heather O'Neill.
The other nominees are France-based Canadian Nancy Huston for "Fault Lines"; Britain's Charlotte Mendelson for "When We Were Bad"; and British novelist Rose Tremain for "The Road Home."
The winner will be announced June 3.
