My anthology, Bound for Evil: Curious Tales of Books Gone Bad, has been nominated for the prestigious Shirley Jackson Award. The winners will be announced on July 12, 2009, at ReaderCon 20 in Burlington, MA.My bags are packed and I'm ready to go!
This is only the 2nd year of the Awards. And I think ReaderCon is the perfect place to introduce Bound for Evil to a wider audience. When I conceived of the anthology my great desire was to remind would-be readers of the power and the mystique of books. Wonderful books, magical and mysterious. Sometimes even dangerous.
And now my fat little antho is headed for ReaderCon, a celebration of books and writers, editors and publishers, and the glory of the written word.
Sigh! Valhalla awaits!

Great to hear Tom!
Wishing you all the best for the awards and hope you have fun too!
Let me add again how thrilled I am that BFE got a nomination.
I'm entertaining the notion of going to ReaderCon myself, so you're being there is added incentive!
Thanks, guys.
Simon, seeing you there would be cool.
