Kate: Good question. This year is only its second year. Plug it into google. They have a site with explanations.

Well why did you go and do something like that, Jeff? You win an award and I have to say:

Well done, good sir! Congratulations!

Bravo! *applause*

That is grand news, for it will lead so many more people to discover the joys of not only Shadow Year, but of your writings in general. Which is awesome, no?

Also, I would like to take you back in time a bit, to one of the very first reviews you posted for Shadow Year. I recall it being from a librarian (?) or a library journal review the reviewer DID NOT LIKE. No sir re BOB, Shadow Year was RIGHT OUT.

Perhaps that reviewer will reconsider.....

Again, congratulations! Your writing has added much enjoyment to my life.

ereoslane: It wasn't the librarians -- they really liked it. There was a lot of good reviews, but a couple of stinkers,one in particular early on from PW, but not everybody is going to like everything. At this point in the game it would be unsettling to me if that were the case. Thanks and glad the writing has given you some good hours.

Too bad Shirley couldn't have read it. She'd have liked it too, I bet! A well-deserved award, Jeff!

(Reply) (Thread)

David: After my halting mumblings in the acceptance process, I looked up and said aloud -- Love ya, Shirley. Maybe she heard.

Hurrah! I'll add my voice to the righteous mutlitude! Nice one, Jeff. :D
