1. OTOLI has been entered in 'The London Book Festival 2011' book prize competition


Here's some quick New Year news with regard to my Young Adult novel 'OTOLI'. I've been notified by my publisher that the book has been entered to compete for a book prize in 'The London Book Festival 2011'. Submissions closed for the competition on 15th Dec 2011. Apparently judging is underway so of course I'm really hoping that the book can reach the shortlist in the Teenage/Young Adult Fiction category for which it has been entered. Of course there is always a huge amount of competition in anything like this but I think it can only be a good thing for the book whatever the outcome since there will hopefully have already been several sets of new literary eyes upon the book (namely the panel of judges). Announcements shouldn't be too far away as the gala ceremony is to be held this month at a venue somewhere in London. So fingers crossed for a nice surprise in the first couple of weeks of the New Year. I'm allowed to dream aren't I? I'll be sure to let you know if it makes it, or not!
