Authors' Award Foundation: ain't no stoppin' us now

To my amazement, I returned home from France (which was lovely - don't let a few idiots put you off) to discover I'm the recipient of a generous award from the Authors' Foundation 2016.

The award will help me complete two novels about which I have high hopes and enable me to think about plots and characters rather than how to pay the bills (for a while). Although of course many of the characters of my books also have to worry about bills, so I won't forget my roots...

Truly grateful to the Society of Authors - and I would advise all struggling authors to apply to the Foundation. If it happened to me, it can happen to anyone...
