Aurora Awards Finalist (Or: In Which Losing is Still Winning)

So back in June, just as CBC noted, I was a finalist for the Aurora Awards, Canada’s foremost award for outstanding success in science fiction and fantasy! I was nominated for best YA.

So what happened?

Well, I didn’t win. But I got a cool pin!

Got my nomination pin! Proud to be a first time finalist! Thank you ...
