Well a nomination in Silver Birch 2010 has certainly made me a happy author. When my biography of Robert Munsch was published last spring, I really hoped it would be added to the list of contenders. I was so excited when I got the news. But then the organizers told me I couldn't tell anyone for a week. That's when the official announcement was made. That was almost too cruel.
Back in 2001, my first novel Frogger was nominated for Silver Birch's fiction category. At the time I didn't know what that meant but I soon found out. I was invited to visit schools all over Ontario. Even my old elementary school -- Dr. Robert Thornton School in Whitby -- invited me to talk to all the students in one giant assembly.
It was great!
After the presentation, they added me to the school's Wall of Fame. They framed up a picture of me in grade four, a cover of Frogger and, I think, one of my old report cards. The last time I saw it, it was hanging next to a picture of Sandy Hawley -- North America's most famous jockey who graduated a year before me. Very cool.
Well now that people will be paying attention to me a bit more, I guess I had better keep this blog a bit more up to date. It sort of fell behind -- just like some of my projects in grade four.
Talk to you later.
