Congratulations! That's huge! Have a great time at the convention. From what I hear, the parties are almost as legendary as at WorldCon. 

Very good!! 

WooooooooW! WTG 

Great news Loki, looking forward to hearing you sell the movie rights for billions!! I'll be pulling for you to hit your fat loss goal early, cheers! 

Congratulations! That is fantastic! What is the name of your book? 

Congrats, one of my friends was living with a young, lady writer, who Aaron Spelling liked, and she got a big series to write for, and dumped my friend. lol 

Nice work! A friend of mine has won ten of those. I want to read some of your work.  

I was scared for a month after i saw the exorcist. And I was 19 at the time .... Lol Well done!! I am always proud of writers :) 

Congratulations on the honor and best of luck with your goal. 

So happy for you! You're too cool.

Oh DUDE - that is so cool! Great motivator to stick to the plan! 

Wow! 

we hope you win good luck family.you can loss that 15lbs and more just stick with the plan you decided on.drink your water. 

That is awesome! What book did you write? I've wanted to write something at some point.  

That is blooming marvelous! Congratulations and well done :-) Definitely a case on onwards and upwards...Whhaaa hooo!! 

Thanks, everybody! You guys are awesome. The book is called DEVIL'S POCKET. It's the sequel to my 2014 debut, PHOENIX ISLAND, which actually won the Bram Stoker Award last year. That was shocking and awesome. As a lifelong horror fan, I'd always dreamed of that moment, but I was so certain that I'd lose -- I was up against four great writers, including two New York Times bestsellers -- that I hadn't even prepared a speech. Ha ha.  

Droppit: It's a great party, just like WorldCon.  

Thanks, Steven! Actually, ABC Studios optioned the book (not for billions, unfortunately), and the first book in the series, PHOENIX ISLAND, was the basis for a CBS TV series, INTELLIGENCE, that aired for one season in 2014. It starred Josh Holloway from LOST, Marg Helgenberger, and Megan Ory... and had nothing to do with my book. Ha ha. Truth, though. We went from a close retelling to something completely different. It was a blast. I grew up in the country, with a black and white TV and three fuzzy stations, so it was a bit surreal, too.  

Thanks, Suzytrws. Yeah, it's a long process. They just announced the final ballot, so it's down to six of us. I don't expect to win, but it was an absolute honor just being nominated, and I'm looking forward to seeing friends and visiting Vegas for the first time.
