My congrats to Joel too - and also to another regular RCMBer, Lord P, whose Nine Deaths of Dr Valentine won the Best Novella Award. Great stuff!  | ||

Thanks, people. A family emergency kept me from the awards ceremony and is still commanding my time, but getting the news late last night was a great boost to my morale. My mother, who is recovering from a hip fracture, will be very happy for me as well. | ||

Thank you Joel. It's careful typing that avoids so much careless gossip. I've already carefully messaged you as well, but I'll just say how happy I am for you on here as well! | ||
