Yes, I have, I've been longlisted for the 2008 Guardian Children's Fiction Prize for my new book, The Knife of Never Letting Go.  Nifty.

There's another Knife book on the list, so I'm sure he and I will be correcting people for the next four months, along with a book by the fabulous Frank Cottrell-Boyce, who provided the cover quote for my own book without ever having met me.

I'm also going to be appearing at the famous Hay-on-Wye Book Festival to be interviewed about it on Tuesday, which is also pretty nifty.  I'm event 226, just scroll down the page; I think there are a few tickets still available.

And I exchanged on the house today, too, so I'll be moving the second I get back from Hay.  May has been a ridiculous month, but I'm a longlistee, we can take it...
