I am sneaking back from my monthlong blog hiatus a couple of days early to share the fabulous news that Ash has been nominated for the Andre Norton Award!!!!
This is the award given by the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America for excellence in sci-fi and fantasy for young adults. I am so thrilled and excited and honored to be on the short list for this award! Check out all the Norton nominees:
- Hotel Under the Sand, Kage Baker (Tachyon, Jul09)

I have to say, I’m really overwhelmed by the positive reception that Ash has gotten. I feel greatly humbled by it. Thank you to everyone who voted to nominate the book — I deeply appreciate it. *sniffs*
