Awarded and Agented

Things that have happened: I went to StokerCon in Denver as a guest of honour, then came back with a spooky (and extremely heavy) little house made from resin in my backpack, having won the Bram Stoker Award for 2021 Superior Achievement in a Fiction Collection for In That Endlessness, Our End. I'd hoped it would happen, but didn't dare expect it to; man, it feels good.

While there, meanwhile, I met an agent--Becky LeJeune of Bond Literary Agency. I've since signed with her, and In Red Company is a go. I've got 20,000 words to hammer down into the first three chapters, as well as three short stories and a synopsis to finish by the end of June. As one dows, especially if one is me.;)

Note to self: The process of getting my shit in order has already revealed that I am superlatively bad at organization. Thank god I have an agent, eh?

Anyhow, more to come. How are YOU all?

And it's still well deserved, and congratulations again!

*hugs*

I am looking forward to much to In Red Company.

[edit] That was a typo for "so," but "too" also works in this context, I guess.
