A writerly surprise.

In the vein of self promotion--something I'm not altogether comfortable with, but need to learn how to do a better job--my short story "Sucker Kiss"  (from the anthology Dark Territories) made Ellen Datlow's extended Honorable Mention list for The Best Horror of 2008. 

It's a pretty good thing I was sitting down, because when I saw my name on that list, I just about fell over.  I am, naturally, quite excited by this and it went up on my wall. 

Now back to writing the next story.

I didn't get to do my real happy dance, because the older boy was sleeping, and my wife was rocking the baby to sleep.

But inside, I was Snoopy all the way.

Congratulations on the nod from Ms. Datlow!

On a personal note, your story made a much needed lunch break even better! :-)
