The Only Thing Better than Being Nominated for an Award: Having a Friend Nominated Too

I'm incredibly pleased to announce that my novel Learning to Swim was nominated for a Barry Award for best first novel - as was my friend Taylor Stevens' The Informationist. (If you haven't read Taylor's book, you'd better get cracking, because her sequel's already out. Mine, you'll have to wait until November for, unless you're on my advanced copy list.)



And am also delighted to see my friend Reed Coleman's Hurt Machine on the best novel list, and Roger Ellory's Bad Signs on the best Britis...
