  • For HWA members (and anyone else who cares)

    Greg Lamberson, excellent filmmaker, great author and all-around good guy, just e-mailed me to let me know that my werewolf novel Ulrik is in a multi-book tie for 10th place on the Horror Writers Association Bram Stoker Award recommendation list in the Novel category.
