I'm thrilled to announce that The Silent Hills won its general short story category in the recent Preditors & Editors Readers' Poll:
Needless to say - but I'll say it anyway - everyone at Musa Publishing is delighted with the result, especially as The Silent Hills was only published in the latter half of 2011.
If you're still without a copy, you can get it here http://tinyurl.com/6bro36q or on Amazon.
So, what's next for me and Musa?
I'm glad you asked. Later this year, Musa will be published a Tweens / YA ebook, The Superhero Club, about an outsider who learns self acceptance and the value of friendship.
Thanks again, peeps - it's a lovely way to start 2012.
Well done, Derek! What a coup.
ReplyDeleteNice one Derek! Here's to many more :) (via Firefox!)
ReplyDeleteThanks to Vonnie and to Wolf. I've dropped a line to the local paper about Silent Hills and I have a release date from Musa for The Superhero Club - November 9th. It's my first foray into the older child / young adult genre, so fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteWow! Just caught up with your posts, Derek! What a great start to the year. Sooooooo pleased for you!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Derek. A well-deserved award.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb and Sinclair. Having raised the bar for myself, I need to start doing some pull-ups!
ReplyDeleteWow, I just caught up here and this was wonderful news to read. Congratulations!!! I am giving you a big round of applause, woo-hoo! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, thanks for the applause. I just found out that The Silent Hills also received an honourable mention in the LR Cafe Best of 2011, in the Mystery/Romantic Suspense/Thriller Book category.
