Long post: Our previous edition of the book had a couple of typing errors and so we are withdrawing it from sale (meaning that all copies purchased so far are now a limited edition run). We have released an updated version of the book and are delighted to confirm that we are also (Emma and Danny) now working on a range of merchandise too! We will have a series of Quartz Valley books, a range of matching merchandise and continue with the EAJ-award for illustration annually at HOW College. Just to confirm Both Danny and I (Emma) will continue to equally share royalties and the Dyspraxia Foundation will continue to have a 20% donation of royalties / merchandise profits too on all Quartz Valley items. The Lilac Story included the following contributors: Authored by Miss Emma Austin-Jones, Illustrated by Mr Danny Phillips, Foreword by Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP, Assisted by Miss Cat Lammas, Supplement by Dyspraxia Foundation, EAJ-award runs at HOW College Art Dept Bromsgrove, Judging panelists for the EAJ-award were: Denise Bonham, Stephen Mountford, Sharon Vass, Pete Collins, Holly Stockham, Cat Lammas, Angela and Chloe Timothy, Michele Clack, Janey Hewitt, Sharon from RL&LWG. Launch music will be provided by Bromsgrove School Music. Launch takes place at Tardebigge Community Hall with Tardebigge first school, on 17th October 2014 1:30pm - 3:30pm (readings for children will be all day). I am happy to announce the voluntary appointment of Mark Pettifer as our (much needed and very welcome) artist mentor / liaison for this years award competitors. This years judging panelists will now include the very talented Lyn Perkins teacher / librarian at Meadows School Northfield and talented felt artist at The Old Needleworks, we are delighted she can join us.
