I Got Nominated For Two Awards!

Dispatches from award land

Friends, readers, unapologetic bibliophiles,

As it says on the tin, I’ve been nominated for the Ignyte Award in two categories.

Best Short Story — The Lady of the Yellow-Painted Library.

You may remember this one, which is about an otherwordly librarian haunting a salesman who has lost his library book. Originally in Africa Risen, and fantastically adapted into a fully immersive audio podcast by the wonderful LeVar Burton!

Best Novelette—The Epic of Qu Shittu.

About a bard/chronicler who sidles up to a “dark lord” in order to pen a biography. Originally in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (March/April 2022)

Both stories are in my upcoming collection Jackal, Jackal (have you pre-ordered yet???)

Voting is open to the public until the end of June. If you read/ listened to and enjoyed these stories I’d be grateful for your vote!

Until next time,

Tobi
