Seems to be a bit of confusion on the submission deadline for the Scribes. Technically, the Awards are for tie-in books published between January 1 and December 31 of a given calendar year. In theory, I suppose an author might not get copies of a book coming out in December prior to that month and so might need to submit later than the December 1st deadline I announced here. In an effort not to leave those people out, it looks as though the submission deadline will be extended to December 31st. So you still have time. However, I can't promise that one of my over-taxed minions, upon opening a late submission and discovering it was actually published in March of 2008, will not burn said submission in effigy instead of reading it, and I don't know that I'd blame them. Considering that the submission period is open ALL YEAR, there really doesn't seem to be any valid excuse for not getting a first or second quarter book in before now, IMO.
And in more upbeat news, thanks to the wonder of Google alerts, I discovered a very nice review of Legacy of Wolves on Erica Naone's blog. Go check it out and tell her what good taste she has! ;)
Everything Else
And in even more upbeat news, EB is currently carrying 1 A and 5 B's. Considering how he was struggling at the beginning of the year, I'm both extremely pleased and quite relieved. AND someone turned in his cell phone, which we was stolen a few weeks ago. So it's been a pretty good week in Marcyville, all things considered.
