Congratulations... Oh, congratulations again! What a lovely, warm, inspiring post.
WOW! Congratulations! Did you manage to fit Jack Sparrow in your bag? And Congratulations again!
Congratulations, George!!!!!! I love your story's concept. I'm reminded of my friend the tweezers! lol. Did Johnny Depp wax poetic about your award?
Well don George, brilliantly said and such a well deserved win. I can't wait to buy it so I can read it to my three children. It was an honour to sit at your table and I look forward very much to when we meet again.<br /><br />Claire x
George, I think that is the best author photo EVER. Congratulations again on your super win!!!
Wow! Congratulations!
What an amazing competition to win! You don't get such a slap up awards ceremony (or hefty cheque) with other prizes. But you won't need to find an illustrator - a publisher will snap you up and provide you with one.
Yay - well done, George! ANd meeting all those famous plastic people must have been thrilling as well
Ufortunatly Jack would not fit in my bag. My bag was uselessly small and even my beard wouldn't fit into it. I had to leave it in the hotel room :-(
I'm disappointed you didn't get to wear your beard to the ceremony, but other than that, CONGRATULATIONS! Great blog too.
Such a wonderful story George and WELL DONE!
