Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book was recently awarded an Audie Award for not only Children's Title Ages 8-12 but also was named Audiobook of the Year. This award no doubt holds special significance to the author as The Graveyard Book was read by Gaiman himself.

Also honoured was Canadian science fiction giant Robert J. Sawyer, whose excellent novel Calculating God (read by Jonathan Davis) won Science Fiction/Fantasy Audio Book of the Year.

Sir Terry Pratchett, author of the bestselling Discworld series, was on hand in Wincanton, Somerset to unveil the street names inspired by his novels. Wincanton's link to Pratchett's fictional universe began in 2002 when the town was officially twinned with Ankh-Morpork, a Discworld city. Residents were asked to vote for their favourite road names from a list of fourteen provided by the author. Pratchett quipped: "Personally, I'd pay good money to live somewhere called Treacle Mine Road."
