Okay, it's not really a medal, but it is shiny and silver and it IS mine! I am still glowing with yesterday's announcement of Pearl Verses the World as Best Children's Book in the Indie Book Awards for 2009. I'm also delighted with the wonderful responses I've had from friends, family, industry colleagues and even people I don't know to the news of this award. I can truly feel the love.Reading

Great news. My book baby, Pearl Verses the World has won The Indie Children’s Book Award, 2009 and is now on the shortlist (of four) for the Indie Book of the Year 2009.What an honour – and what excitement. I have been happy dancing and singing and laughing and, yes, even crying, with joy.To learn more about the award you can visit the new Indies Website. And, in the meantime, feel free to dance
