BIG NEWS!!!
On February 28th the Scottish Book Trust (tip of the hat to those awesome folks) announced that
Children of Icarus is the winner of the 2018 Scottish Teenage Book Prize!!! Hence the big news!!!
I'm so immensely thrilled and so very honoured by this. And I'm incredibly grateful to all the readers - students, teachers, librarians - who took part. I hope you all enjoyed reading the shortlisted books as much as I enjoyed writing
Children of Icarus! Also, a huge thanks as always to the Scottish Book Trust, for everything they do for readers and writers. Props to fellow shortlisted authors
Elizabeth Laird (
Welcome to Nowhere) and
Danny Weston (
The Haunting of Jessop Rise). I'm humbled to be in such amazing company.
