Elixir Bound nominated for the 2012 Cybils Awards

Well, I made it through my first author event without any major hiccups (no passing out or vomiting midspeech!). Rumors have been circulating that the whole thing was recorded and may end up on YouTube. I’ll be sure to let you know if that comes to fruition (and, of course, only if I look good in the video!).

CybilsLogo2012-Web-ButtonIn other news, I was thrilled to have Elixir Bound nominated for the 2012 Cybils (Chilrden’s and Young Adult Bloggers’ Literary Awards) in the Teen Fantasy/Sci-Fi category. I’m up against some stiff competition, and that’s only after the public nominations have been listed. It’s an honor just to be in the running. (I certainly don’t expect to beat out a book like Kristin Cashore’s Bitterblue!) A special thanks to Ladybug Lin for nominating Elixir Bound.

Finally, check out an original short story of mine called When Angels Die up on the MuseItUp Publishing blog today. I penned this one specifically for the Halloween season, so I hope you like a good scare.

      It was a relief to get that first event under my belt. And congrats to you too, Anna. I saw My Very UnFairy Tale Life among the nominees as well.

    Ah, you made it OK through your first event! I’m sure there will be many more. And congrats on your nomination.

      Thanks, Shell! Glad to see you’re the cruncher instead of the crunchee.
