I'm thrilled to bits. I entered a competition over at DJ's and my name was pulled out to win a copy of The Cloths of Heaven by Sue Eckstein. I can't wait to read it. It sounds brilliant!
You can read a great interview with Sue Eckstein over at DJ's. And a fab review of the book HERE
In other news: I’ve PASSED my Creative Writing and Literature Diploma with an amazing overall score of 82%. YAY! I’m shocked, truth be told. Not bad for someone who left senior school clasping a grade E ‘O’ Level in English and a grade C in Art! HA! That's shown them! Not that I'm bitter, you understand!

Congratulations on the prize AND the diploma.
Where you going to night school? Correspondence course? I've been toying with the idea of the Open University's introduction to Creative Writing course, but I just don't know if I'd stick with it.
Thanks Anton :-)
I did the diploma through the Open University. It is an excellent course - it is hard word, but more than worth it! They also do short courses on fiction writing, which may give you the opportunity to dip your toe in to see what you think.
Congratulations and Congratulations!!
The book sounds wonderful and you have done bloody brilliantly on your diploma!! Make sure there is much celebrating...you've earned it!!

Huge Congrats, Amanda, what a brilliant score!!
I can't beat - or even equal - you on that but I can beat you on winning the book *smile*. I won 10 books as a prize for writing what was judged to be the best limmerick to celebrate the publication of Lucy Diamond's latest book - Hens Reunited.
