Something of the night...

So I didn't win a Costa prize. Hey ho.

But I did get a mention in The Telegraph today from a certain Mrs Howard, one of the judges.

"My husband read one or two. He hadn't expected to enjoy a book about lesbian love in wartime (DoG, by Catherine Hall) but it hooked him at once."

What a nice man, I thought to myself.

Then I realised who her husband is. Yep, that's right. Michael Howard, former leader of the Conservative Party.

A Tory politician is my biggest fan. Who knew?
