Costume Not Included, the second novel in the
To Hell and Back urban fantasy series, has been shortlisted for the
Endeavour Award.
The award is named for the ship captained by the great navigator James Cook when he explored and mapped the Pacific Northwest from Oregon up to Haida Gwai (the Queen Charlotte Islands). It's a juried award, given for a distinguished science fiction or fantasy book written by a Pacific Northwest author or authors and published in the previous year.
It's been established to the satisfaction of the Endeavour's governors that, although I wander the world as a homeless housesitter, I remain an author of the Pacific Northwest.
The winner will be announced at OryCon, the Oregon sf con, in November.
