Congratulations!

I just finished Monette's The Bone Key last night. It was very, very good.

I am actually hoping to make my budget let me go to Readercon this year.

Congratulations! "The Forest" and "The Janus Tree" were easily my favorite stories in Inferno, and "The Monsters of Heaven" was also striking, so it's nice to see them get nods.
