One loves the smell of British Fantasy Awards in the morning

Much to my delighted surprise and suprised delight, “The Coffin-Maker’s Daughter” won the BFA for Best Short Story. This is especially nice when you consider the other short-listed works.

The full list of winners is available here and a sample of my story is here.

Thanks to the lovely Stephen Jones for not taking the first story I sent him for A Book of Horrors, and thanks to the wonderful Jo Fletcher of Jo Fletcher Books for publishing such an amazing and original new horror anthology! 😀

And just in case anyone thinks I’m being too calm about this, let me assure you that I am dancing around the apartment (which makes typing difficult) in my pjs, to Train’s 50 Ways to Say Goodbye.

And so I leave you with the image of a six foot tall Womble in silk boxers and uggs.
