Newsy Bits – Crystal Kite Nomination!

Still in a tizzy over being on sub, but I hope to have some news about that soon!  As a result my blogging has ground to a halt, but I do have a few bits of news to pass on!

First of all, WITCHLANDERS has been nominated for a Crystal Kite Award!

I can finally spill about this because the voting is over.  It’s a wonderful honour since the Crystal Kite is an award that’s voted on by other authors, and this recognition from my peers is especially meaningful to me.  Winners will be announced on April 30th so keep your fingers crossed!

Also, I’ve made some additions to my upcoming events including the exciting news that I will be speaking at CANSCAIP’s Packaging Your Imagination conference in November.  My topic will be on Writing High Fantasy and Urban Fantasy.
