It’s the Montana Book awards at last! Winners will be announced at a gala event this evening; go to the Booksellers site to refresh your memory about the nominees. Will the glorious Central scoop the pool as it did on Saturday at the Spectrum Print Book Design Awards? Or will it be our Michael’s History? Will Maurice Gee or Peter Wells walk away with the Deutz medal for fiction? Or will Annamarie Jagose wing it this time? Watch this space ...

Remember also, Kim Hill will be talking to the available winners at the Hilton tomorrow lunchtime, tickets still available at Ticketek or on the door from 11.45am.
