I Got Props!
So last night I went to the Tor.com party in NYC. There were some free ARCs there, including Ken Scholes' Lamentation. Of course I snagged a copy, and having heard (and confirmed) I was given props in the acknowledgments page, I immediately proceeded to flip to the kind scribbles of one Mr. Scholes.
So here is what Ken kindly wrote to me and Shawna and our role in helping bring about this novel: "I'd also like to thank Shawna McCarthy and Doug Cohen at Realms of Fantasy--I'm glad you two loved Rudolfo and the gang enough to publish 'Of Metal and Scarlet Thread and Dancing with the Sunrise' and introduce the short story that stretched into the Psalms of Isaak. (Shawna, that note to go write a novel with these characters was a great boost!)"
He also thanked the illustrator for "Of Metal Men," so this is a writer who certainly remembers his roots.
Ken, I thanked you already when I learned you'd mentioned me in the acknowledgments, but now that I've read the particulars, let me also say you da man.
So I suppose I can file this one under "another feather in the editorial cap." It's a nice feeling. And yes, I started reading this one on the train ride home, but I'm saying nothing about this book until I've read the whole story. It seems like fast reading though, so I imagine I'll have something to say soon enough.
