So, I may have been a little distracted this year as far as SFnal stuff goes. I really didn’t pay a lot of attention to the World Fantasy Awards, except when a bunch of cry-babies threw a tantrum about the change of trophy. But I was listening to the latest Galactic Suburbia this evening and (after a brilliantly epic rant from Alisa) they said a few things about the finalists. Suddenly I heard the words “Rebecca Lloyd” and “Tartarus”.

Wait… What???

Rebecca Lloyd? Our Becca Lloyd. For a book I interviewed Becca about on the radio? And went to the launch party for?

Ye Gods, I feel so stupid. Sorry Becca, I totally spaced on that. WELL DONE!!! And sorry you didn’t win, but then look at the competition. Rob Shearman didn’t win either.

This is a very belated squee. Mercy and Other Stories. It is very good, promise.
