And dear reader I am on it! There are 12 of us out of 400 entrants. To say I am surprised would be understating it, I have to keep pinching myself and re-reading the email from the CWA. Hopefully once I get through the shock, I will feel excited. At the moment, I begin to feel excited and then think, no, I’m not really there, it’s all a big mistake….
I have also been receiving some lovely reviews of my book, one calling it ‘haunting’. It’s being read by a niche audience at the moment, but a jolly nice niche audience.
