Last night, On The Road with Mavis and Marge won the DAA Children’s Book of the Year! It was great to get out of the cave for the night and go hang out with presidents and the like.
I had to make a speech…yikes! Jane, Jo and Deirdre came over from Walker Books for the night and we partied ’til dawn 
Derek Landy won the senior category. Thank you to everyone who voted for Mavis and Marge. Especially all my Trapped By Monsters cave buddies!
Me, the chicken and the cow are very happy today!
Lots more photos of Mo’s and Jo’s on my blog.

Many congrats, Niamh! That’s brilliant news. I’ve named a character in my next book in your honour now.
