To my mind, this only reinforces how incredibly lucky I am to be included in this wonderful book.Ĭompetition in the Long Fiction category is going to be fierce this year. I also need to send a shout out to Harry Shannon and Gary Braunbeck, both of whom have stories in the book, because the book itself has been nominated in the Anthology category. Lansdale’s “Fishing for Dinosaurs,” are also on the final ballot. Two other novellas from the book, Jonathan Maberry’s “Three Guys Walk Into a Bar,” and Joe R. At least I hope it does.īut the good news doesn’t stop there. Gotta prove that I’m worthy.” That anxiety, that self-doubt, that demon chomping at my back, keeps me honest. I remember thinking: “Oh shit, did I really do well enough to earn that? Really?” And then: “Well, the pressure’s on now. I liken it to that time during my sophomore year in high school, when I made the long trek out to the baseball field the day after tryouts to see the list of those who’d made the varsity team…and seeing my name there. I’ve been nominated before, and I’ve even won the award, twice in fact, but I can tell you the thrill of seeing the ballot come out, and finding my name on it, never goes away. My novella, “Lost and Found,” which appears in the shared world anthology, Limbus II, edited by Brett Talley and published by Christopher Payne of Journalstone Publications, has been nominated for the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Long Fiction. I worked late last night, so I’m just now waking up to some great news.
