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.
