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...!

Alice won't move any further and she won't let go of my leg!"

    it. was. terrible.

    and they gave us horrible food. i had to sneak packets of suger to my room to survive and me and my friend went hyper!

    How OLD are you, Thrice?



    The other day, this OBNOXIOUS boy pushed my friend out of the way, and this other boy said to him:

    "How rude! Do you not know how to treat a lady?"

    So then I started thinking how ladies should be treated...

    ReplyDelete
