Good News!

This good news is a few weeks old, but I don't think good news ever really gets "old."

Writer Kari Sperring has been awarded the Sydney J Bounds Award for Best Newcomer, a juried award administered by the British Fantasy Society.

Her debut novel, Living With Ghosts was published in March 2009. Sperring writes with close attention to atmosphere and detail; her world lives and breathes with vitality and emotion, and her characters -- wow, it's been probably over 18 months since I read it -- are vivid enough that I can still close my eyes and image a sense of who each of the main characters are.

A huge congrats to Kari.
