I thought the Pulp Awards were in Chicago tonight but the website linked below says it was yesterday.

Anyhow, I was nominated for Best Novel and for two different stories for best Short Story. One of the short stories actually won, so now I get a rather nice trophy.

My first Robin Hood book's cover artist, Mike Manley, got Best Cover award too.

It would have been nice if my publisher had got Robin Hood: Arrow of Justice out to the shops this week (schedule delays, I think) but instead they're going to rush Sherlock Holmes, Consulting Detective Volume 3 out instead (volume 2 had the aforementioned award-winning story "The Last Deposit" in it).

Fortunately I wrote 1/4 of Holmes 3 as well, a novella called "The Lucky Leprechaun", wherein two little girls claim their uncle was abducted by the fairies. I think this one will be out as an e-book as well, and that's a really cheap way of getting to read it (introductory price $3, I believe).

If any of you read any of this stuff let me know. The worst things about publishing stuff are that I can't give it away free because 40% of profits go to other people and I don't get feedback from a message board to help me gauge what it was like.
