My dear Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is my pleasure and privilege to announce that this story, just as the first volume of the "Storm and Silence" series, has just won, thanks to your ardent support, a "People's Choice Award" in the Wattys2016, the world's largest writing contest.
Here is the beautiful medal we have secured for Lilly and Mr Ambrose:
Now we shall have to wait and see what they decide to do with it. LIlly's proposal: wear it proudly! Mr Ambrose's proposal: melt it down and sell the gold at the highest price possible ;)
Yours Truly
Sir Rob
