8 POUNDS Nominated!

I'm delighted (and not just a little stunned) to report 8 POUNDS has been nominated for a Spinetingler Award in the category of Best Short Story Collection. Many thanks to Jack Getze, Brian Lindenmuth, Sandra Ruttan, and the whole Spinetingler crew.

The Spinetinglers are cool in that voting is open to the public, so if you enjoyed 8 POUNDS, I'd be honored to have your vote. Just pop on over to Spinetingler anytime after 6 AM April 1, and make with the democracy. And hey, even if you weren't a fan, go peruse the ballot anyway. A lot of tremendous folks are up for awards in a whole host of categories. Just think of every vote as a down-payment toward making someone's day.

So thanks again to the Spinetingler crew, as well as everyone who's spread the 8 POUNDS word; I'm eternally grateful. And to my fellow nominees, I'm a lucky man to be in such rare company.
