Today the good people over at Shirley You Jest announced the winners in the fiction category for their book awards and unfortunately The Drought wasn't a winner this time.
Congratulations to Amy Sprenger who got first place with her book Baby Bumps, and to runner-up Billie Thomas and her novel Murder on the First Day of Christmas.
Shirley You Jest will be back in May 2014 and with a bit of luck I'll have pulled my finger out and finished The Flood by then (I know, I know - I keep saying that...!).
