Very very delighted to tell that
Monster-Blood Tattoo 2, Lamplighter has been shortlisted in the
Andre Norton Award (the YA section) of the
2009 Nebula Awards. Given that some of my
favourite authors have been past recipients (
Frank Herbert,
Ursula K. Le Guin,
Orson Scott Card) amongst many of other lights of spec
fic (
Philip K. Dick,
Arthur C. Clarke,
Isaac Asimov,
Gene Wolfe, &c &c &c... including last years Andre Norton winner, Ms Rowling herself) I am most utterly astonished, gratified and thrilled.
It is my pleasure to also boast that
Lamplighter was included on
Locus Magazine's 2008 Recommended Reading List (as released last month), so happiness all round.
I shall stop showing away
(again...) and get back to editing.
(Book 3 better be good, dang it! my fears cry)
