I attended the Killer Nashville International Writers’ Conference this past weekend, and I return with some pretty darn amazing news.
The City of Seven Gods won a Silver Falchion for Best Book of the Year, Horror and Fantasy!!!
I’m headed out to Nashville this weekend for the first time. That’s because The City of Seven Gods is a finalist for Killer Nashville’s 2016 Silver Falchion award: Best Novel (Horror/Fantasy)!
There’s a lot to say about the White Nationalist “Unite the Right” rally, the deadly violence, and the counter-protest that happened in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend. As the country moves forward by removing statues of “confederate heroes” that were installed across the South as symbols of white supremacy, a response to black progress in the Reconstruction Era and de-segregation in the 1950s and 1960s, it is sad though not surprising we are witnessing a backlash from whites.
