After finding a comment from children’s author Philip Ardagh on one of my earlier posts, I popped by his site to take a look. Not literally, obviously. I don’t live inside the internet, despite what my immediate family may suspect. For those of you who don’t know, Philip is the author of – among others – the Eddie Dickens Trilogy. I quite recently read Awful End, the first in the trilogy, and really enjoyed it.
Perhaps even more marginally less impressively, Philip joins me as one of the authors who provided short stories for Wow! 366.
You may recall that recently I mentioned I appear to be story 364 of 366, right next to Tom from McFly. Well Philip, it seems, has discovered that Scholastic were unable to find 366 contributors in the short timescale they had available. As such there are only 270 stories in the book.
Which begs the question, how can I be story 364 of 270? I didn’t pay all that much attention in maths, but I’m reasonably confident that within the realms of current human understanding, such a situation can not occur.
It’ll be interesting to see where I appear when the book is published in August.
Okay, not that interesting, but a bit.
