Sire! I have News!

Well, I'm not quite at the point where I'm ready to start blogging again. But it's now in sight.

Angela Dear Neil,
Congratulations! I'm so glad you finally got your Carnegie! It's unfortunate that Cabal is having health problems at the same time. I hope that it's easily fixable and that you'll both be out running together again soon. You both deserve it.


Karyn The Pirate Completely wonderful! So now you have the two big ones for Children's lit.

Aviva Congratulations on the Carnegie! It's a wonderful book and well deserving of recognition!

Tess Way to go Neil!!! Congratulations on your Carnegie! Well deserved.

I hope Cabal feels better soon. It's awful when your animals are ill, you feel so darned helpless. I'm very happy he has you to cuddle him though.

Rai Congratulations Neil!!! Fantastic news!!!

Alex Perry Congratulations! An incredibly well deserved award for such an excellent book. Lots of love and wishes to poor old Cabal, be very sure that in a doggish way he appreciates having someone looking after him with so much care.

Myra The Graveyard Book is such a wonderful read! I'm looking forward to my grandson being two or three years older so I can share it with him. Thanks, Neil, and congratulations!

Elysse That is awesome! Congrats! The Graveyard Book totally deserves it. It was amazing. I loved it! When I realized that it was a Newbery Winner I knew it should win the Carnegie Medal too. Once again, congratulations!
