Lo, the World Fantasy Awards nominations had been announced and OMG I'M ON THE BALLOT. Along with  OMG AMAZING artists Zelda Devon,  Julie Dillon, John Picacio, and Charles Vess!

I'm still kind of speechless about it, so here: Since the award is a bust of H. P. Lovecraft, some hopeful tentacles from me:

And now I need to see if  a trip to Washington D. C. is in the works for me.  Hugs and Kisses!
