A very good week…
March 2, 2010
Not Suitable for Family Viewing has done all right by itself lately.
Last week at the Ontario Library Association Superconference in Toronto, it was one of ten novels chosen as a 2009 OLA Best Bets for Young Adult Readers.
Today, it was nominated for the 2010 Snow Willow Awards in Saskatchewan.
The Snow Willow is given through the Saskatchewan Young Readers’ Choice Award program (SYRCA), which promotes reading among the province’s children and youth. Ten books written by Canadian authors and aimed at kids in grades 7 to 9 are nominated. Any student who has read the minimum number of books can vote for their favourite. The winning book will receive the Snow Willow award next Spring.
Pigboy gets a makeover
February 28, 2010
Isn’t this great? My 9-year old friend, Maximum Brauch, wasn’t keen on PIGBOY’S cover so he designed one himself. He even wrote new copy for the back and drew a rather flattering picture of the author.
Max gave me two copies of his artwork. The one I’m holding here I’ll use as a book jacket.
The other one I’m going to frame.
