I’m utterly delighted and honoured to announce that Murder is Bad Manners has been chosen by the American Booksellers Association as one of ten Indies Introduce children’s and YA picks, to be promoted in independent bookstores across the USA in spring 2015.

From the announcement on the ABA website:

“After weeks of reading and discussing wonderful debut books, it is an honor and delight to highlight 10 new authors out of such a worthy and talented pool,” said the chair of the children’s panel, Tegan Tigani of Seattle’s Queen Anne Book Company. “The selection process introduced us to dozens of books we can’t wait to recommend, and through much deliberation, we honed our list to a spectacular, can’t-miss 10. Readers will fall in love with these books — and fall deeper in love with reading.”

This is wonderful news – I can’t wait for the US to be properly introduced to Daisy and Hazel’s adventures, and I’m over the moon that the book will be promoted in this way. Thank you, ABA!
