Addendum Number 2
Now that I am not shaking anymore, just grinning so hard my jaw aches, I am happy to report that today's fab news seems to have had a direct impact on sales: my Amazon UK ranking, which had been plummeting steadily, jumped from 197,000 this morning to 10,150, number 77 in the Bestselling story collections list (that dastardly clock radio is off the charts, ha!). So, in conclusion, these awards do something. Something shifted. Very very nice, although nothing beats those judges' remarks. I am off to grin privately at my cats. It's bound to scare them.

Jenzarina, lovely to meet you here, thanks so much. The cats are stalking each other, not sure my mood rubbed off well on them!
Hurrah!
Looking through the online writing world I found your blog today(guess I was looking for connection) and its really cheered me - congratulations - to be mentioned like that is fantastic! I think it's tough being a writer and recognition like this - and for a small press too - is brilliant. Will have to read your stories now -
