Chris Miles :: Author of ‘Who’s on the Money?’, ‘Stuck on History’ and ‘Explorers: filling in the map of Australia’

Not an April fool

Posted on 2 April 2008

I received an email from a fellow author yesterday congratulating me on Who’s on the Money? being one of 19 titles to be listed as a notable book in this year’s Children’s Book Council of Australia awards.

I rushed to the website to check that this wasn’t an elaborate April Fool’s Day joke.

Staggeringly, it wasn’t.

This came as quite a surprise — though it shouldn’t have, because quite clearly my book is brilliant. Ahem.

Now that I’m all puffed up, I’m hoping for a shortlisting and gold sticker next year for my second book, Stuck on History.

My latest book is Explorers: Filling in the map of Australia. You can find out more about Explorers at the Black Dog Books website, where you can also find out about other books, Who’s on the Money? and Stuck on History.

Here I’ll be posting articles about some of the material in the book — so subscribe to my RSS feed and join the voyage of discovery!
