Here we all are at the Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh for the Scottish Children’s Book Awards ceremony yesterday. It was a great day! Sadly I didn’t win but huge congratulations to the lovely Ross Collins who won in the 0-7 category with Dear Vampa much deserved. Also congratulations to Nicola Morgan for Wasted and Ross Mackenzie for Zac and the Dream Pirates.
