ditmar awards + first review anxieties eased

[adelaidesean]

Congrats to everyone nominated for a Ditmar!  I'm honoured to be one of them, for Earth Ascendant in the Best Novel category.  If you're going to be in Adelaide for the natcon, you can expect a huge celebration.  That's what it's all about, isn't it?

Also, the first review of The Grand Conjunction has hit the screens, thanks to Liviu Suciu at Fantasy Book Critic.  I was a bit nervous at first (I'm not often called "audacious and unconventional", like it's a good thing) but it worked out very well in the end:

"I would say the best in all the series and the novel succeeds grandly indeed.  Highly, highly recommended."

Whew!

Snoopy dancing being done and virtual chcolit being sent :-) x

Yay! Thanks. I may well have a hot choclit to celebrate. :-)

And seriously: what would choclit (the literary sub-genre)look like? I reckon we should write ourselves a manifesto, perhaps as an antidote to the infernokrusher movement...

Who's a great big rock star, then? *g*

A very relieved fellow re the review, let me tell you. And the Ditmar nom is wonderful, but I totally don't deserve to win. I'm just looking forward to the after-party.

It's a lovely review, thoughtful and intelligent and reasoned. Yay!

Thanks! I am blutterbunged and bleezed, without doubt.
