Irony and “The Crystal Desert”
At the risk of sounding egotistical, I knew this would happen. Last year “The Aztec Eagle” was nominated for an EPIC Award, which is an industry award for electronic books. So naturally, when epress-online was close to publishing the sequel, “The Crystal Desert,” they encouraged me to submit it for the 2012 competition. I did, and yesterday the finalists were posted at http://www.epicorg.com/ and–ta-da! “The Crystal Desert” is one of only three nominations in the science fiction category! I’m so proud!
But epress-online closed its doors in August, so I’m up for an award for a book that was never actually published.
I knew this would happen.
