Some day, some day, dominion

I'm busy staring at Kingdoms and procrastinating putting up the next teaser chapter of The Bone Palace, but I'll take a moment to share a shiny thing.

Romantic Times gave The Bone Palace 4 ½ stars, saying "...absolutely outstanding. It’s full of fantastic and original characters and a tightly coiled plot that pulls the reader along. Highly recommended both to fans of gritty secondary fantasy but also to those looking for something a little bit different, a little bit unusual, and a whole lot of awesome."

And if that wasn't cool enough, they also appear to have nominated it for the 2010 Best Fantasy Novel award. I'm up against nojojojo, maryrobinette, Guy Gavriel Kay, and Kage Baker, so, yanno, a snowball's chance, but that is very fine company to be among.

Awesome news, congrats!

Great seeing you and S in Columbus--one of these cons the stars will be right for us to have a proper sit-down chat instead of the run-by drinkings that seem to characterize our interactions.

That's wonderful: congratulations.
Oh, I tried to find the new Hambly for you before I left but none of my local bookshops had it or could get it in time. I can order it and post it, however, if you'd like.
