Great excitement when ‘The Angel Child’ was a runner up in this Award. A confirmation that I was an author. Originally intended to remain as such, a short story, the ambiguous ending – ‘So she lived, alone and content, and not another heart was stirred until the balloon man came.’ – lead to the whole novel under the same name.
