Nominated for a British Fantasy Award

The news today just keeps on coming . . .

I'm quite excited by the news that my short story "Pinholes in Black Muslin" (available to read for free here) has been short-listed for a British Fantasy Award. The tale will be on the final ballot, so I suppose ought to remind anyone eligible to vote (that would be any member of the British Fantasy Society, or attendee of FantasyCon '08) that they ought to do so before August 1st ... even if it's not for my tale. For those curious, the award ceremony will be September 19th during FantasyCon '09.

For those of you who demand to read the story in print, more good news! Tartarus Press has announced the official date for the release of COLD TO THE TOUCH: July 29th, 2009. You can't preorder it yet, but keep an eye open here for more info.
