The notability of DM Cornish has been challenged, and I'd like to point out the list of reviews for Monster Blood Tattoo at this website (including Publishers Weekly[1] and Booklist) as well as a published review in Australian newspaper The Sydney Morning Herald (Looking for a cure for the Harry hangover, 13 May 2006). The book has also been nominated for the American Library Association's "Best Book for Young Adults" award, 2007[2], and the Aurealis Award for young adult fiction, 2006[3], the latter of which it won[4].

I think all that classifies Cornish as a notable author, according to these guidelines.Tredanse 04:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
