Finally got home yesterday from Dayton and the end of the main leg of my HELLHOLE AWAKENING book tour.  Very tired, a little under the weather from the persistent laryngitis, but I had all of 14 hours at home to reacquaint myself with the cats, and with Rebecca, with the jacuzzi tub, my own bed…and of course the washer and dryer to do my clothes and repack the suitcase.

Sitting in the Dulles airport right now, on our way to Richmond VA for Ravencon all weekend.

Yesterday I did receive the wonderful news that CLOCKWORK ANGELS has been nominated for the prestigious Colorado Book Award, a literary prize.  I love that novel and have been pleased with all the attention it’s gotten, and the Colorado Book Award is especially appropriate, since Neil Peart and I plotted most of the novel while climbing one of Colorado’s 14,000-ft peaks.

Another surprise yesterday, I learned that my novel TRINITY (formerly THE TRINITY PARADOX) written with Doug Beason, has been nominated for a major German science fiction prize, the Kurd Laßwitz Preis.  TRINITY was published in the 1990s in the US, but the German translation was just released.

THE TRINITY PARADOX is also available in English from WordFire Press—an anti-nuke protester is thrown back in time to World War II, where she has the opportunity to sabotage the Manhattan Project.
