brief encounter (with my blog)
I can't believe how much I posted last year, cause I haven't posted a THING this year. So here's a happy announcement - last week Code Name Verity won the Edgar Award for best young adult mystery/thriller for 2013. I have never, ever felt so much like I was at the Oscars. Actually, in my gold dress I felt like an Oscar... XD
Here's the full list of nominees in the YA category:
Emily’s Dress and Other Missing Things, Kathryn Burak
The Edge of Nowhere, Elizabeth George
Crusher, Niall Leonard
Amelia Anne is Dead and Gone, Kat Rosenfield
Code Name Verity, E Wein
And here are the authors who turned up for the awards banquet. WE ARE SO GLAM!
Kat Rosenfield is in the middle and Kate Burak on the right. They were SO NICE and you should go read their excellent books, too. (sorry the photo is blurry!)
And here are the delighted editor (Catherine Onder, in eau-de-nil) and agent (Ginger Clark, in evening black), with the pallid bust of Poe himself:
In other news! This was waiting for me back in Scotland when I got home. IT IS A BOOK.
This was also waiting. It is a hanky. Amanda sent it. Astonishingly, it is an actual souvenir of Paris in 1945. See the Eiffel Tower? For so many reasons, it is *perfectly* representative of Rose Under Fire. When I realized what it was, I started to cry.

and this is out today in the US!
