Thursday, May 10, 2007Back from the Author's Club award ceremony...
... which you may remember was for the Best First Novel award. Well, I didn't win, but I'm happy to say that the prize went to a fellow Random House author, who I sat opposite and who was very nice, to wit: Nicola Monaghan, author of The Killing Jar. The other shortlistees, who I'd like to take this opportunity to plug, were:
Naomi Alderman, author of Disobedience (who approached me in the hallway and said, 'Bareback! Yes? I loved it!', which is reason enough to buy her book right there) Vanora Bennett, author of Portrait of an Unknown Woman J.M. Ledgard, author of Giraffe Stef Penney, author of The Tenderness of Wolves Ray Robinson, author of Electricity ... and me, of course, but you've already read my book, right? Although, of course, a spare copy never did anybody any harm. They had some fine apple crumble at the ceremony too. I mean, really nice.
Comments:
Apple crumble is very nice, though rhubarb crumble is even better.

Well done again for the nomination and doubly well done for being so kind to the other people who were nominated and so pleasant towards the woman who won. << Home ArchivesJuly 2006 August 2006 September 2006 October 2006 November 2006 December 2006 January 2007 February 2007 March 2007 April 2007 May 2007 June 2007 July 2007 August 2007 September 2007 October 2007 November 2007 December 2007 January 2008 February 2008 March 2008 April 2008 May 2008 June 2008 July 2008 August 2008 September 2008 October 2008 November 2008 December 2008 January 2009 February 2009 March 2009 April 2009 May 2009 June 2009 July 2009 August 2009 September 2009 October 2009 November 2009 December 2009 January 2010 February 2010 March 2010 April 2010 May 2010 |
