Chasing the news

The Outsider by Camus

 "For a while nobody moved; it was all sunlight and silence, except for the tinkle of the stream and those three little lonely sounds."

"...he was staring hard at me, as if he had been waiting for me to wake..."

"What these people were looking for in me wasn't anything to laugh at, but signs of criminality..."

Merry Christmas

SCBWI winner

I won the scbwi (Society Childrens Book Writers & Illustrators) Undiscovered Voices Tribute Competition at the annual conference in Winchester last weekend, and I'm chuffed to bits! Tim Truong (Stripes Publishing) said it had the most competent sense of design, use of colour and understanding of the role of a cover. Wow!

John Shelley, from scbwi, has also set up an on-line gallery for the illustrator's exhibition set up at the conference. You can view this on http://www.wix.com/scbwibi/winchester
