Good News!
Everybody!
The Horror Writer’s Association announced yesterday that my second novel, The Missing, is on the final ballot for the Bram Stoker Award in the category best novel. The Missing has made several 2007 year’s best lists, including The American Library Association, Fantasy Book Critic, Publisher’s Weekly, and Dark Scribe (editor’s pick, novel of the year). Below is the final Bram Stoker Ballot in all categories. I’m delighted and honored.
