BOOK OF BEDTIME STORIES ...

...Or, Dreams Can Come True (aaaaah)


Way, way back in November last year I entered a Bedtime Story writing competition.  Then I do believe it was January of this year when I discovered I'd made it to the short list, and February when I darn near popped with excitement when I heard I was one of the 10 winners.

There followed an illuminating correspondence with my very talented editor, Kate Davies, and later I was sent the roughs of the illustrations that would accompany my text.  It was all the Kates!  Me, my editor and then Kate Leiper, the illustrator.  (Please check out Kate L's website to see some of her incredible artwork).



Anyhoo, it all died down on the action front, until this plopped into my Inbox.

...Or, MY STORY IS GOING TO BE PUBLISHED...!!!!!

Ok, so this isn't much of a blog-post, more of a I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS HAS HAPPENED-post.
