Tender Morsels went and won a Ditmar...

...while I was down at the South Coast over the weekend. For Best Novel. Yee-haw!

Also, 'The Goosle' won half a Ditmar—the other half was won by Dirk Flinthart, with whom I'm more than happy to share the honour and glory.

All the details are over here.

I drove home early this morning, through a wonderful dawn and hardly any traffic, to be at the Winter Writers' Lab at 10. Where I kept bashing my head against what seems to be turning into another brick wall of a story. Come on, story, liven up! Do something!

More than delighted to share, as I mentioned elsewhere. As for brick-wall stories... what the heck. Raymond Chandler always liked to have a man with a gun walk through the door when things got dull. How can that possibly be bad advice?

According to one of the letters sent out with Tender Morsels it should appear in two imprints in the UK. The David Fickling will be for Young Adults and the Adult edition should be Jonathan Cape.
