I’m a bit slow on the uptake here, but fellow Upstart Crow author Jody Sparks declared BUSTED her funniest book of 2009. It’s the first award I’ve won. I don’t even have an acceptance speech ready.
It’s great to hear that people find BUSTED so funny. Humor is a tricky thing in books–a combination of context, timing, and characterization that either works, or doesn’t. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to know how people are going to respond until they’re actually reading it. Thanks, Jody, for the vote of confidence!
By the way, Jody’s blog is awesome, so go read it!
Thanks, Antony. (I like compliments. And, you know I love watching my blog stats go up.)
I am really looking forward to your next book! I hope someday we can share a good laugh and a cup of joe together.
Absolutely, Jody. Count me in. Especially as we’ll be closer next year than we are now. Hey, perhaps we could even manage some YA panels together!
Until then, good luck with the move. Antony
