A Good Day

Awards,News | Posted by Carole on Tuesday 1 April 2008

Today was a good day. It was warm autumn weather with a pleasant breeze. I went back to the gym after a month’s absence and it felt good.

And to make the day even better, the shortlist for this year’s Children’s Book Council of Australia was announced and two of my books were on the list—Dragon Moon in the Younger Readers section, and Jerilderie Letter (illustrated by Dean Jones) in the Eve Pownall Information Books section. Just to top it off, Dragon Companion was mentioned as a notable book.

I tried to link to the CBCA website but it seems to be down. I will fix that once it’s back in action.

   Congratulations on being shortlisted! I love your books and lately our year level was reading Dragonkeeper for our book of the year type thing.
   Then our library teacher told us we were meeting you and when i met you, you were sooo nice!! I told some year 6 girls from last year and they were jealous they didn’t get to meet you!!

   I love your books!!!
