Well deserved! Curdle Creek was definitely creepy, and the story was unique! It's a wonderful book, well worth re-reading.

Photo of a bookshelf at Vancouver International Airport with my novel IN THE DARK WE FORGET among others such as SONG OF ACHILLES, FIVE LITTLE INDIANS, and THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY, all with stickers that read “2 for $40”

Here’s a nifty thing: I have “an airport book”! 🤓

A friend snapped this at #YVR yesterday to show my book displayed prominently (!!) in a promo and in fine company too
