Congrats on your win!

I'm also very chuffed for Rob Shearman whose Tiny Deaths (I think) is a brilliant book!

Congratulations, Ellen!

THanks,
Now I think the ideal would have been for Coyote Road to have tied with Inferno--but then Terri and I wouldn't still be neck in neck in how many we've won :-)

Annoyingly, I didn't know it existed before the nomination and the publisher never got me a copy in time to consider for the 2007 YBFH but...I met the charming author in Calgary and he gave me his last copy so I will be covering the book and considering the stories for this year.

Good work, Ellen, and much deserved. You are a superb anthologist.
And I'm delighted the wonderful Dillons won a Life Achievement Award.They are in a class by themselves.
