Got long-listed for Somnambulant. I notice that Jai Clare was also listed for Paradox Junkie. Congats, Jai.

Many congratulations Sion and Jai.

What's the procedure now for you guys? Do you have to submit more chapters?

Best of luck

Harry

Very well done, both - great news!

Many congratulations Sion and Jai - terrific news.

Emma

Thanks, Harry, Anne and Emma.

It was one of those readyaimfire letters which announces longlist, shortlist, and winner all at once (sort of takes away the fun a bit). It was won by someone called Thomas Maugham - of course he'll never make it as a writer with a silly name like that, poor chap.

Sion

wonderful! congratulations.

Yes, well done indeed. Sorry I'm late to the party as usual.

(sort of takes away the fun a bit)

Yes, I can imagine, though I suppose it also removes some of the agony...

But plenty of champagne either way, I trust!

Emma

Yes, brilliant both of you. Congratulations!

Thanks Leila, Roger and Ani.

Emma, no champagne until published. I've got a Dom Perignon '93 for this. But I expect it'll be very ancient by then, probably an undrinkable fizzy vinegar.

Sion (and Jai)

Fantastic news. Hope it gets better still.

Thanks Andrea
