Huh? What? You're Kidding?

I just discovered that I received an Honorable Mention in the 21st Edition of The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 2008 for "And a Song in Her Hair" in Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine #26.

I know there are writers on my flist who get one or two (or five) of these pretty much every year, but for me this is a happy-making thing and a bit of reassurance that my growth as a writer is still moving in the right direction.

YAY!

That's one of my touchpoints, too -- I would be THRILLED if I got Honorable Mention in any of these.

WOOT!!

ROCK ON! GO BABY!

According to a search within the book on Amazon, you're also mentioned on page 26, but it's hard to tell why.

Frankly, I'm boggled by it. Pleased, thrilled, and happy, but also boggled. I may have to read that story at DreamHaven next month.
