Just missed out on the HARROW book award, after being on a five-strong shortlist, but now TOWER HAMLETS has popped Jim Reaper in their Must Read list and he'll be up for their award later this year. Against some mighty competition, but hey, it's the taking part that counts. And what a compliment! Happy summer reading, all!

You may have thought I was being over-dramatic about the rise of the robots and how you, as brilliant humans, could combat them by arming yourself with literature... But just look at this. It's EXACTLY what I was warning you all about... Which goes to show that people who make things up sometimes know what they're talking about! Read all about it here...

Keep up with Jim Reaper in the Twittersphere right here:
Kniha přišla!
That means THE BOOK HAS ARRIVED in Czech. Because it has! Yes, the Czech Republic has translated the first of the Jims, and I couldn't be happier. Děkuji! Thanks to Allen & Unwin, Jim 1,2 and 3 are now available in Australia's book stores. BONZA!
