Blood Song nominated for an Inky Award

I'm so thrilled and honoured to receive my first award nomination. Today the Inky Award Longlist was announced -- ten Australian books and ten international books -- and Blood Song was on it.

The books are chosen by the good folks at the Centre for Youth Literature, last year's Inky Awards judges and an "independent industry expert". How mysterious does that sound?

For those of you who aren't familiar with it, the Inkys are a teen-choice award, so once the short list has been announced (decided on by a panel of teen judges), voting will open on the Inside a Dog website. View the rest of the longlist here.
