I was delighted to discover today that Twitch, my story about a birdwatching detective, has been shortlisted for the CRIMEFEST awards, in the category of Best Crime Fiction Novel for Children.
Every book on the list is excellent and Twitch is up against some heavy hitters, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed, but I’m on cloud nine to have made the shortlist.
You can read more about the awards here.
Every year, it is a huge joy to see your wonderful costumes on World Book Day.
I like to celebrate readers’ awesomeness by gathering the images I’m sent online into a gallery so that you know that I’ve seen your costumes and how wonderful they are! This year the costumes were off the chart levels of amazing. I’m truly blown away.
I hope you all had a wonderful World Book Day!
If you dressed up as a character from one of my books this year, I would like to thank you, because I am honoured that you have enjoyed my stories enough to make this effort to create a costume, and it makes me so happy to see them.
If you want to send me a picture to add to the gallery, you can post it on a social media platform and @ me in or email it to info@mgleonard.com
