It’s been a bit slow on the publicity, front but: HUZZAH.

William Kostakis
Award-winning author William Kostakis was only 19 when his first novel for young adults, LOATHING LOLA, was released. Funny, smart, silly and sweet, LOATHING LOLA follows the ups and downs of being Australia’s newest teenage reality TV star, as Courtney Marlow struggles with fame, love, loss and Lola.
In 2005, William won Sydney Morning Herald Young Writer of the Year. If you’ve met him, he’s probably beaten you over the head with his plaque. He’s just that into himself.
Now 20 and working on his sophomore novel, William still likes to think he's in way over his head...

Hi William,
An excellent interview with the Sydney Morning Herald. A great synopsis of your writing career. I really admire your perseverence in sticking with your passion, despite the critics. I remember, at the age of 14, which is now a very long time ago, the love of life was writing and books – these still are. Your courage to continue, even in the face of adversity, is admirable and inspiring. I think your achievements are outstanding and look forward to hearing more about your writing career as you mature, develop and master your craft. Well done!
Hello Hermes, congratulations on your great interview. You really are one smart cookie and I like your post on getting mean and being honest. It back fired on me recently when a former Adonis of mine started texting me angrily after he read my post. But I agree with you, honest and mean is better than dishonest and bland. And if readers want to see themselves there, well you have succeeded. And age and authorship, yeah too young or too old, when is it ever the right time?
Now…
