On a lark last month, I submitted Thunderstone for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award competition. I was shocked when it made the first cut, so imagine my surprise to discover it also just made the quarterfinals. Wow! Needless to say, I’m tickled, and now really have a jones to finish polishing up novel #2 (the one for which I posted an excerpt a while back) and get it off to my editor. Alas, that my kid is still taking 90% of my bandwidth at the moment, so writing will have to wait for a bit longer. Fortunately, the hubster’s official family leave starts mid-April, so I suspect I’ll spend a significant chunk of that four weeks holed up in my office, happily drowning in writerbrain.

Thunderstone is a damned fine novel, so I am not at all surprised. I am pleased for you, and hope the book wins.
Thank you!
