Silver medalist in the Literary Classics International Book Awards!

Forgive me for shouting, but my book Without Me was recently announced as a finalist and has won SILVER in the Literary Classics International Book Awards for best pre-school/early reader! (exclamation mark warranted!!!!)

Without me received a seal of approval from the CLC recently and they featured a great review of the book. A friend alerted me to the fact that I was a finalist only last week as I was off-line working on another book. Today I got the good news. I have to say I am delighted. The Literary Classics International Book Awards is held annually for entrance world-wide.

As my mum would say, “I am tickled pink!”

A bit about Literary Classics quoted from their website:

Wombat Books was well represented with authors Lynne Stringer, Elizabeth Klein and L.d. Taylor winning silver in the young adult section. A big hug for my publisher Rochelle Manners who believed in and published my book.
