About a week ago, roughy five minutes on a Friday morning before I had to go staff the reference desk, my publisher Steve Berman rang with one of those classic "are you sitting down?" calls. Anyway, Steve's call delivered some of the best news I've ever received: Lord Byron's Prophecy is a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Awards, but I couldn't say anything until May 2nd, when the official announcements were made.
Well, the announcements have now been made, and I can say plenty.
But I'm not sure I have many remarks, other than thanks--to Steve and Lethe Press; to the people in my little writer's group (Carter Wilson, Linda Anderson, Dirk Anderson, Ed Bryant, and most recently, Abram Dress) who read the whole manuscript over the course of about 15 months; to Hal Duncan, whose editorial insight is invaluable and with whom I hope to work again; and to Darren and Jack Buford, such good friends to whom Lord Byron's Prophecy is dedicated.
Congratulations to all the nominees in the various categories!
