Congratulations Gideon! You truly deserved to win, and that speech proved exactly why that is! I will definitely read LTDI, which sounds to me to be an amazing work. I will probably refrain from reading the Violin of Despair, not because of your skill or anything, but because I am a proud fan of Courtney's, and I see a lot of myself in her, for good and for bad. I mean no offense by that however, and I anticipate it attracting a lot of readers' attention.
