Unexpected nom

[Kissmequick]

So, this was so unexpected I found out when Elspeth Cooper congratulated me on twitter

I have a nom for best newcomer in the BFS awards (along with the glorious Laura Lam and Emma Newman)

I shall be over here, being shell shocked.

Ah, the best kind of nom.

Well done!

 

[Jo Zebedee]

Oooh, well done you.

 

[Brian G Turner]

Congrats.

Sometimes I forget how quickly you had to get the Fade To Black series out.

 

[Kissmequick]

It wasn't so quick in the end Brian -- I had 18 months (iirc) to write two books -- thy came out close together but I had a fair bit of time before hand to write them. - I handed in book 3 the same week Fade came out. So not that quick considering I was only working part time. 1000 words a day did the trick.

Trying to do the same while working full time is...more challenging

Thanks guys!

[Nerds_feather]

[Teresa Edgerton]

Congratulations! The best kind of shock, I am sure. May you have many more.*


*Shocks of the same sort, I hasten to add.

 

[Juliana]

Congratulations! Well deserved.

A 'nom de plume'? (drags brain back from translating it as 'noun' or 'name')

Er, sorry got distracted. Congratulations!

 

[Kissmequick]

Thanks guys -- am still bouncing tbh. I won't win but hey, I made the shortlist!
