PICTURES!

And we have a winner...!

On Thursday night, I accepted the award for Best Children's Book of the Year (Senior) for Mortal Coil, to rapturous applause from everyone who loves me. Yes, fine, that means I was applauding myself as I made my way to the stage, but it still counts, dammit...

Here is the beautiful award on my mantlepiece...


I also picked up a SECOND award, for I am THAT brilliant- this time it was for the Book of the Decade thing I won a few months back. Here are BOTH awards on my mantlepiece...


Yes. I have a cool house.

Thanks to everyone who voted- it's because of you, my Minions, that the Skulduggery books do so well at things like this. And I just LOVE getting up on stage and making fun of everyone. Makes me so happy...

And, now that I've remembered how to post photos, I'll add a few random ones...

These are home-made jackets worn by two girls who came to signings a few months ago, one in the UK and one in Germany... Sweeeeet.


And here are two pictures of kittens I used to have, before I found good homes for them...!

Minnie said...

Aaaaa! I almost didn't comment in time! How do you people comment so FAST?????

Nevermind. =)

Congratulations, Derek! I voted for you. I'm a responsible citizen. Or something.

The kittens are supremely cute! I read you were adopted by a pregnant cat when you moved into your new house. My family had practically the same thing happen to us. I loved all the kittens so much.

Those are cool shirts too.

You like cowboys? Is one of the Skulduggery books gonna be a Western? I know it's unlikely, but you could make it work. It could be really unique.

Emily (fromthelikes) said...

I like the cats too :)


*see's another random bubble and runs after it*

Emily (fromthelikes) said...

I am very distracted today...


The banana's attacking me...


The bubbles everywhere...

Emily (fromthelikes) said...

*Smiles as wide as the cheshire cat*
