Completely irrelevant to the rest of the board, of course...

Tony's latest book, Fireshadow has just been announced as one of the 6 shortlisted books for the CBCA Book of the Year award (Older readers).

[Big Grin]

The winner is announced in August. There is a nice cash prize for the winner, but being on the short-list is wonderful in and of itself. It means many, many more sales, more attention from schools and a spiffy sticker on the cover.

We are a very happy household this afternoon. Now excuse me, I have to go open the champagne.

If you really want, I'm pretty sure it's on Amazon. Not published in America (yet... *fingers crossed*).

Quid - I am a *bad* bad person. I have the book in question sitting here ready to send to you along with the others I promised. I will. Soon. Sorry!

[Edit - Raia it is on Amazon but it's quite expensive. If you really want a copy I can send you one...]

Really? Would it be signed? [Smile]

(edit: But I don't want to cheat Tony out of the money he deserves to get for his book!)

I'm sure we can arrange that.

[Smile]

[Edit - it's ok. You're a student and therefore poor. Quid is in Sri Lanka and therefore deprived of reading materials. I can make two exceptions. [Smile] ]

Imogen, I'm glad it's still there and not lost in the mail! Not that I want it to stay there, of course. I'm still looking forward to reading it. I'll pretend to be patient, though. [Smile] See? I can do this. I can! I can! [Smile]

imogen- Do you know when or if it'll be published in the US?

quid- Are there any books you're looking for in the next month or so? I'm in the mood to go bookshopping and everyone knows that books you buy as gifts don't cost any money.

Blacwolve - as yet there are no plans for US publication.

But a CBC shortlisting usually generates some interest in the international market, so that may change in the next couple of months.

Don't worry, I'll let you know if it does. [Smile]
