Crawford Award Short List

[truepenny]

The short list for the Crawford Award has been announced (mille remerciements to katallen for the heads-up), and Mélusine is on it.

You may color me gobsmacked.

[ETA: Apparently (and cf this clarification), the Crawford goes to the writer, not the book. So, um, ME.

hominysnark, we may need more than one crayon.]

Although my TBR pile still is topped with Melusine - which I regret to admit I haven't had a chance to devour like I'd like to - and even though I'm only a short way into it ... let me just say that I, for one, am NOT gobsmacked. Not at all ;-)

I'm only gobsmacked that I wasn't a day behind with the news ;o) and not at all surprised to find Melusine on the short list. In - evit - able once I saw what the prize is awarded for.

I wasn't surprised at all. *) Congratulations!

YAY! Both of you!

have a frog.

Brava! ::confetti::

This only reflects the excellent taste of this year's jury. :)

[nephele.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! It's most definitely well deserved.

I just assumed it went to the writer -- how would the book cash the cheque? (and how can you ever tell anyone they're on a short list without it sounding heightist?) ::giggles and runs::

You're also on the Locus Poll for best first novel. I tossed a link in my journal to send my minions to vote for you. :) Good luck!

[heathwitch.livejournal.com]

Whoo hoo! Conga-rats! :) *hugs*

[oursin.livejournal.com]

Serious yayness!

[libskrat]

This is brilliant. Let the pro-truepenny lobbying commence!

And "gobsmack" is a rather pretty color. Neat.

[jaylake.livejournal.com]

Good for you! Good luck.

Did they actually tell you you were nominated? When I was (didn't win) I found out from Locus, thus starting a continuing chain of finding out I've been nominated for things in bizarre ways.

Congratulations!
