Thank you – Heritage of Secrets won!

Posted on September 4, 2009 by aoife

We did it!  Thanks so much to all those who voted for me for the People’s Book Prize.  Heritage of Secrets came first in the fiction section. It was an incredibly close call; I only won by four votes so every vote counted! I really, really appreciated and was very touched by all the support :)

If you haven’t had a chance to read it (and are curious to find out what on earth you voted for ;) then you can order the book direct from Flipped Eye Publishing for the discounted price of only four quid -

Also another Flipped Eye author Niall O’Sullivan’s book of poetry Ventriloquism for Monkeys is up for the People’s Book Prize.  I have read this and it’s very witty, touching wonderful poetry so please support Niall by voting here http://www.peoplesbookprize.com/book.php?id=124

And if you’re around on Sunday, be lovely to see you at London Liming to celebrate!  Details below.

Thanks again for all the amazing support, it really means a lot to me.
