She has been nominated for a Locus award on three separate occasions: in 1989 for Dragon Prince in the first novel category, in 1994 for Skybowl in the fantasy novel category, and again in 1995 for Ruins of Ambrai in the fantasy novel category. The third novel in the "Exiles" trilogy has now been "forthcoming" since the late 1990s due to the author suffering from clinical depression and moving on to other projects to facilitate her recovery.[1] Rawn gave an interview in 2014 with Kate Elliot's blog where she announced that she intended to complete the trilogy after finishing the fifth book of the Glass Thorns series.[2]
