And now a message from our sponsor...

Or, well, a message from one of my many editors. In this case, Jennifer Brozek, one of the editors from Grants Pass:

"Members of the HWA may recommend the anthology "Grants Pass" edited by Amanda Pillar and Jennifer Brozek to the Stoker Committee for its consideration in the anthology category. It is currently tied for sixth place. The short list has only five slots. We need at least three more recommendations to get into that top five nominations. Active and Associate HWA members may recommend, while only Active HWA members may vote in the final ballot. I am happy to send out a PDF of the GRANTS PASS anthology for HWA members' consideration. All recommendations must be received by January 15th on the official HWA site."

So there you go. If you belong to the Horror Writers of America, and would like to consider Grants Pass for inclusion on the Stoker ballot, please feel free to contact jennifer_brozek to request a .PDF of the book. It really is an excellent anthology, and I had a fantastic time with my story ("Animal Husbandry," which involves plague).

Thanks, all.
