Hi Steve,
Thanks for being encouraging about my 3rd place in the Pan MacMillan comp.
My humorous novel "But Can You Drink The Water?" came in the top 50 out of 5000 in the 2010 ABNA awards, and the Publishers Weekly Reviewer called it "Droll, witty and utterly British", which was really exciting,

but then nothing came of that either.

I've now published as a Kindle.
