Into The Grey (aka Taken Away) just won the Book of the Year AND the Children's Choice for the CBI (formerly The Bisto) Awards 2012!! This means I have the honour of joining such revered names as John Boyne, Eoin Colfer,Roddy Doyle , Siobhan O'Dowd & Chris Haughton(among others - the awards have been running for 22 years) It's a special thrill to have had the book recognised by not only the panel of Judges (for literary merit) but also by the juries of children who vote each year for the Children's Choice awards. I'm the first author to win in both categories!!

WOOTHOOT!!!!!
