Wildthorn Wins Lammy

 I've just heard that Wildthorn won the Children's/Young Adult category in the Lambda Literary Awards last night. I'm really chuffed, of course. But now I'm kicking myself for wimping out of the ceremony. Yes, I'd have had to get myself to New York and yes, it was a scarily glittery event (for which I wouldn't have known what to wear) but golly, wouldn't it have been exciting!

One consolation is that I avoided having to make a speech. I would have been horribly shy and British and unable to weep and thank my parents for bringing me into the world.

But, still, it would have been great to be there and experience the atmosphere and  see Val McDermid receiving a special Pioneer Award.

Ah well…..
