Did You See Jamieson Wolf's Long and Short Lists?
Or...The Dragon is still catching up with what happened in December
Back in December, life was a little hectic for...oh...everyone. My new job involves launching a new magazine so these first few crucial months mean plenty of long hours getting everything in place. In fact, if you'd like to see what a fantasy author does for a day job, you can check out the construction industry blog I created, just for giggles. It's at www.theasphaltforum.blogspot.com. Very little of it will interest the average reader or writer because it's geared for vertically integrated asphalt production facility and quarry owners. That's a mouthful, eh? They're fabulous folks and I'm looking forward to meeting up with them (again, and that's a long story best told on Nigel's blog at http://sandylender.blogspot.com) at some industry events over the next few months. Yes, the travel schedule is about to pick up.
But as the work schedule got a little harried, an e-mail landed in the inbox from fellow speculative fiction author Jamieson Wolf. He's also a reviewer for Linear Reflections and The American Chronicle, and he has a memoir due out this year with The Friday Project called In My Steps. I haven't read any advance or proof copy yet, but I've visited his blog, www.jamiesonwolf.wordpress.com, which inspired and instigated the book, and I recommend checking out both the blog and the book. When the e-mail landed, I read through it and put it in a folder for deeper review later. You'll never guess what it was! That fabulous Jamieson Wolf had picked his favorite books of 2007 and my epic fantasy novel Choices Meant for Gods is No. 2 on his short list and No. 1 on his long list! You can read the entries on his blog that discuss the lists at http://jamiesonwolf.blogspot.com/2007/12/best-books-of-2007-long-list.html and http://jamiesonwolf.blogspot.com/2007/12/best-books-of-2007-short-list.html. How cool is that? I'm so stoked! Jamieson, you rock.
