Interesting that there are two YA novels in the Novel category this year, instead of all of them being in the Norton YA category. Huh.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Hooray for Jeffrey Ford and for The Coyote Road! :)

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

Yes! A big WOOT for all of us.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Indeed!

Now that I've finally gotten my Amazon credit card points gift cards in the mail, maybe I can actually buy The Coyote Road. Heh.

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

It's a very reasonably priced $10.99 and even less than that at amazon, now that's it's out in trade paperback.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's in paperback now? Awesome! I like hardbacks, but paperbacks are usually easier on my little wallet. :)

[ellen-datlow.livejournal.com]

Yup. Just found out. I thought it was coming out in trade pb in a month of two.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Well I will definitely add it to my buy list for the Amazon gift certificate (still deciding what-all to get with my windfall).

P.S. My own (vicarious) exciting news of the day: http://foresthouse.livejournal.com/516057.html

Congratulations to your sister! What lovely news.

I'm looking forward to the chapbook - I love her poems (and I'm probably the only person out there who has almost all of the older ones (which is a LOT) because one year I whined and whined about how she never let me read any of them, so she gave me the whole set for my birthday. Heh). Now if only she'd hurry up and finish one of her three novels!

Oh, and I should probably have also mentioned a HURRAH! for Terry's nomination. I guess I figured that went without saying. :)

Very cool.
