Summed up.
2012 has been quite a year for me. I'd been saying for a while I'd wait until I was happy with the writing I was doing before poking my head above the parapet too deliberately. And at the beginning of this year that writing happened.
Granta Magazine picked me up for their Britain issue, and things went from there.
Quickly on the back of finishing The Dig, I wrote the very different Bird, Blood, Snow, which reminded me not to cement myself into a way of working too self-consciously. That came out in October.
And the year has closed with a publication deal. But that's mostly secret, at the moment.
Best wishes to all of you, and thanks for the support since I got here a few months ago.
Happy new year.

Prize Win and Backlist Relaunch
Alongside seven other books, THE DIG was chosen as one of this year's Jerwood Fiction Uncovered winners.
It's great company to be keeping, with writers including Naomi Wood, Gerard Woodward and Evie Wyld on the list. I'm looking forward to a summer reading through the fellow winners.
The prize is great timing, as Granta Books, working alongside Parthian, have reissued the backlist with stunning new covers from designer Jenny Griggs.
