So honored and flattered to find out that “The Fever” is one of 13 science books long-listed for the Royal Society Winton prize, considered the Booker Prize of science writing. The short-list of 6 will be announced in September, and the winner in November. Fingers crossed!
Month: June 2011
When my kids were small, we moved to Australia for 3 years, thanks to a post-doc my husband (a biologist) took on at James Cook University in lovely north Queensland. Besides eating a lot of mangoes and hanging out in hammocks, we all became citizens of Australia. Which is why it is now possible for my work to be considered Australian–and for “The Fever” to be excerpted in NewSouth’s 2011 edition of Best Australian Science Writing. Book to appear in November. Thank you Oz!
Picador has released the paperback edition of “The Fever.” I hope this much more affordable edition will find its way into more readers’ hands. Please do pass it on! Check it out at Amazon.com here.
