Found this on Irish Publishing News. I made it onto the list of Top 100 authors borrowed in Irish libraries in 2010.
For anybody who thinks that children’s books are a minor part of what is overwhelmingly an adult book market, the Top 100 list is loaded with children’s authors, with over half the Top 50 consisting of our mob.
At number 94, I just made it in. But considering the millions of books available in Irish libraries, I’m pretty happy with the position. And I’m in good company, with major names like Lynda La Plante, Melissa Hill, Tony Ross and Cecelia Ahern around me, and I’m within a few places of giants like Terry Pratchett, Hergé and Ruth Rendell.
Nice neighbours to have. A big thanks to everyone who’s been borrowing my books.
