More Than This shortlisted for Kitschies! And first US events

More Than This has been shortlisted for the Red Tentacle in the Kitschies Awards (aka kind of the coolest book awards out there).  I won a Red Tentacle two years ago for A Monster Calls, and they always come up with the most interesting awards in the book world.  Check 'em out!

The first public events of my US tour for The Crane Wife start tomorrow (24 January).  If you're in the Bellingham, WA area or even Vancouver, BC, come along to Village Books Bellingham on Friday, 24 January at 7pm.  And I'm in Seattle on Saturday, 25 January, at 6pm at University Bookstore.  Then dates following in Oakland, Manahattan Beach, San Diego, Manhattan, Milwaukee, South Hadley MA and Mystic CT.  All details here.

Hope to meet some of you soon...
