Well, gosh, this is a wonderful surprise.
The venerable Pat, of Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist fame, has included Bitter Seeds in his list of the Top Ten Speculative Fiction Titles of 2010. And over at Fantasy Book Critic, Bitter Seeds is listed among the Top 25 Novels of 2010. And the Mad Hatter has included Bitter Seeds in his list of the best genre books of the year.
It’s a great relief to see that people still remember a book that came out way back in April. (Holy cow. Has it really been that long already? Seems like yesterday, yes it does.)
Meanwhile, over at Literary Musings, Dan Goodman posted a recent interview we had during the holidays. I met Dan at World Fantasy back in October, and the interview grew out of our conversation there. I wish I had started working seriously on my writing as early as Dan has done. Compared to him, most of us are pikers.
I’m not the least bit surprised.
I am. But it’s extremely generous of you to say so.
Happy New Year!
