Worst Diarist Ever
Apr. 16th, 2010 09:23 amOkay, so...pulling myself out of my trough of slug to announce some exciting developments:
Not only did my story "The Jacaranda Smile" get nominated for a Shirley Jackson Award in the Best Short Story category, but the anthology it appeared in--Apparitions, edited by Michael Kelly--was nominated for Best Anthology, and "each thing I show you is a piece of my death" was nominated for Best Novelette. And yes, this means I may very well get my ass down to Readercon this year; in fact, we may try to get Steve down there, too, since he's also nominated. But that would necessitate him getting his passport renewed, so who knows?
One way or the other, an honor. Amazing.
Also: For those of you with (little) money and no ability to get to a bookstore CZP has a distribution deal with, ebooks of A Book of Tongues (http://j.mp/bQtDaQ) are now available! Just click on the URL to order from Horror Mall; you'll see the link on the bottom left-hand of the page you land on.
Meanwhile, today I have Cal at home all day. Should be fun. I am going to get some work done, though.;)
