Shortlisted for Children's Book Prize

Had a cheerful bit of news the other day.  The Strange Affair of the Ethiopian Treasure Chest has been shortlisted for the Wishing Shelf Book Prize...

It's not exactly a vast and famous international competition -- but it has the great merit of being judged by children.  The readers' panels are made up of children from London Schools, for the most part, and if they like a story set in rural West Wales then that's fine by me!

The winner of the competition will be announced in April.  Watch this space.....
