Joel Thomas Hynes, narrator of several Rattling Books audiobook recordings, wins BMO Winterset Award

Joel Thomas Hynes is on a streak, yesterday having won the BMO Winterset Award with his latest novel We'll All Be Burnt in Our Beds some Night.

 In his acceptance speech he acknowledged earlier financial help from Arts NL.

“This book, for me, was a long journey. Getting it published, even. After having four or five books out, you’d think it would be easier, but I had to fight to get this book published,” Hynes told the Winterset ceremony attendees. “It seems like when everyone else was against this book, the arts council was for this book, and I owe a debt of gratitude to the arts council for financing aspects of the writing of this book. If not, I don’t know, I would have had to go on to do something else.”
