Dancing in the Dark shortlisted for the Children's Choice Book Awards 2011

So delighted to share this news. Shortly before leaving Israel on Tuesday, I found out that Dancing in the Dark had made the CBCA list of Notables. This morning, after a mere 3 hours sleep last night (yes, I'm still very, very jet-lagged), the week got even better when I opened my inbox and found out that it has also been shortlisted for YABBA's CCBA awards for readers in Years 7-9. It's gratifying to know that my novel has found its way into the hearts of the very readers for whom it was intended.

Lovely to come home. The trip was wonderful - a complete break from routine. Now it's time to get back to work on my second novel.
