Dear All,

Just to let you know that Dead Babies And Seaside Towns has just been shortlisted for the Pen / Ackerley Award 2016.

The details are here:

This is hugely exciting and it would not have happened without your support.  Unbound reckon that readers are as good at selecting books as editors in publishing houses - this proves them right.

The prize giving event is the evening of 12 July at the Freeword Centre in London and anyone can come along (tickets £5 - £8).  None of my family can be there so I'd very much welcome a few familiar faces.

Thank you again for your support.  

Alice
