Good News from Candy Gourlay (HS '80) as emailed to her classmates...

Dear Classmates

I am ENORMOUSLY, GIGANTICALLY proud to tell you all that I have sold my novel TALL STORY for publication worldwide! Woo hoo!

TALL STORY my book about a boy with gigantism will be published in hardback in June 2010 in the UK and then later in the year in the US. We are hoping that it will be out in the Philippines by July 2010, publshed by pinoy publisher Rayvi Sunico.

It's been almost nine years since I started trying to get published, and almost two years since I got a publisher as a result of the Undiscovered Voices competition. What a roller coaster ride this business is. Now I'm switching to another roller coaster and I'm so happy amazed and terrified at the same time.

i made a little video to celebrate on my website
