Stop the presses!!!!

I am a astounded and amazed to announce that I have actually won an award!!! I was named best author by the 2012 Pulp Ark Awards which recognize excellence in new pulp writing and to be presented at the 2012 Pulp Ark Convention. It is an almost overwhelming honor. Most of us who write often feel like we are laboring in the wilderness and to be noticed, and by my peers, is incredible!!!

Congrats to all the other winners, who are, by and large a very distinguished cadre to be among. LIke they say at the Academy Awards--it is an honor to be nominated with such company. But to win---Wooohooo!!!!!

Here are my fellow winners this year...
