Aussie Awards - Inkys & CBCA

Yesterday I had the honour of being a part of the Inkys online launch. As part of this launch, the long lists for the Gold Inky (Australian authored YA) and Silver Inky (International authored YA) awards were announced. You can hear my dulcet tones and that of the brilliant compare, Andrew, and fellow blogger, Steph Bowe, by following this link.

If that's not your style then check out the long listed titles here.
