Congratulations to Kirsty Reid, author of Gender, crime and empire, which won the 2008 Australian Historical Association's Kay Daniels Prize for early colonial history. Fantastic news!

In other news, the annual Anglo American conference went very well for us last week, and it was great to meet some new authors in person, as well as seeing some familiar faces from last year.
Thanks also to Julie Ackroyd who kept all the publishers happy and made sure everything went smoothly. Kudos for the Krispy Kremes on the last day…

On a side note, if you like un-extortionately priced Greek food and you happen to be in London, we can recommend Yialousa Greek Taverna on Woburn Place, near Euston station. It’s run by a lovely Greek Cypriot gentleman and the food is wonderful...
