Hi guys,

I've wanted to post something in this forum for absolutely ages! And I finally got the chance - my novel has been shortlisted for the Guardian/Hot Key Books young writers' prize: http://hotkeyblog.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/young-writers-prize-the-shortlist/

I'm the second one down in 13-19. Won't find out who has won until March, but I'm so happy to have got this far. :hooray:
