California - Best Novella of 2012?
Magic 8-ball, he say otherwise.
California, a novella written by Your Humble Narrator, makes the list of nominations for Spinetingler's Best Of 2012, which is pretty exciting news, tempered somewhat by the fact that it's up against this shower of talented bastards:
Barracuda - Raymond Embrack
Everything I Tell You is a Lie - Fingers Murphy
Every Shallow Cut - Tom Piccirilli
Felony Fists - Jack Tunney
Follow Me Down - Kio Stark
Old Ghosts - Nik Korpon
The Point - Gerard Brennan
Shotgun Gravy - Chuck Wendig
Smoke - Nigel Bird
So, yeah, pretty much a snowball's chance in hell. If you're stuck for who to vote for (and you should be, given that line-up), my own recommendation is Piccirilli's Every Shallow Cut, which is one of the best pieces on failure, revenge and the bitter truth of the writing business I've read in a long time. The rest can be bought at links on the site below and are well worth the money.
Vote here.

I'll put that on the top of my list. Just in passing, I finished Dead Money yesterday. What can I say? So very good indeed - I'll write a review in the next couple of days when the juices have boiled over.
ReplyDeleteBravo, NB! Glad to hear you liked DM, too - look forward to seeing what you thought.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, Ray! I think you deserve to win... readers please note - don't vote for anyone else - ignore what he says. The man is obviously deluded.
