Wow! I'm awed and stunned to win a prize in a competition I haven't entered.
Nonetheless I'd like to thank everyone on the awards committee, my agent (if I had one), Macmillan New Writing, my long-suffering family and everyone else who's contributed to my success.

Yippee!
Congrats, Tim. Be sure to get "Winner of the Ayres Book Award" on your upcoming dust jacket!
