I made the Black List (a good one) + US book tour dates!

My screenplay for A Monster Calls has made the Black List (which is a good thing, indeed) for the best currently unproduced screenplays in Hollywood.  The Hollywood Reporter has a good explanation (and I have strong, strong hopes that the "currently unproduced" part changes soon!).

Update -- US TOUR DETAILS!! I'm on a book tour of the US for The Crane Wife from 24-31 January that sees me spanning the country from WA to CA to MN to MI to MA to CT.  A whole ton of places, so PLEASE check the Events page for full details (but I'm pasting them below, too):
