Finches by A. M. Muffaz on the WORLD FANTASY AWARD BALLOT FOR NOVLE+

 So, I was an editor for a while over at Vernacular Books until my personal life exploded. 

I picked up this book out of the slush pile with beautiful writing and a powerful story from a debut author, and next thing I know, it's getting a starred review in Publisher's Weekly. 

Well, hey! NOW IT'S UP FOR A WORLD FANTASY AWARD!

So, I'm thrilled for A. M. Muffaz, and I know this is only the beginning of a storied career with many more awards to come for her, and if I'm very lucky (luckier than I've been this summer) I'll be at World Fantasy to cheer her on!

So, if you haven't read this one, you really, really should.
