Personally, I'm ecstatic that my adult zombie short, Supper Time, has been nominated in the 'Best Short Horror Story' category. It's in good company along with the likes of...
...the popular Drunk On The Moon by Paul D Brazill... Getting High On Daisy by the inimitable Richard Godwin... The Endless Game by Anthony Cowin... It's A Curse by K A Laity... The Devil's Music, Raised In Hell by Julia Madeleine... and Still Alive by Erin Cole... the list goes on...

Some selfless, hard-working ezine editors have been nominated...
... notably and unsurprisingly, my long time mate, David Barber for resurrecting The Flash Fiction Offensive so adeptly... and my co-editor over at Thrillers, Killers 'n' Chillers, Lily Childs, who has invigorated TKnC with her class. Top notch U.S. editor, David Cranmer is also one of my faves, for the sterling work he does over at Beat To A Pulp.

It's also good to see that The Flash Fiction Offensive and Thrillers, Killers 'n' Chillers are in the race for 'Best Fiction Magazine' too!

Plus, David Barber's short, Best Mates and Lovers, earned a deserved nomination in the 'All Other Short Stories' section along with some crackers from Darren Sant, Graham Smith, Luca Veste, Ben Sobieck and Pete Sortwell, to name a few.

I know, Jeanette. Tried to keep the post succinct - I really could have gone on and on... :-)
Best,
Col
I think I speak for all of us when I say what you editors do in giving you time is greatly appreciated. You and Dave are top blokes I am honoured to know.
Thanks also for the name check mate.
Thanks for the mention Col. I agree some brilliant talent on there in both writers and editor categories. Not forgetting best e-zines too!
Best of luck to all.
Congratulations to all of you... My votes are cast and I will take this opportunity to say thank you for every thing you do...xx
You see, what'll happen is that Supper Time will become your most popular story and you'll have to transform yourself into a horror writer, like I did!
Daz,
Thanks for your kind words, mate.
Tony,
Cheers. See you're at #2 - good luck, mate!
Rosie,
Ta very much. x
Paul,
Yeah, you may have a point, mate. TKnC makes me writing cross genre stuff anyway, but this was my only horror story of 2011.
Happy New Year to all,
Col
Best of luck, Col... and everybody else! There are some fantastic writers in the race(s)!
Cheers, Les.
I see you're not doing so bad! :-)

Thanks for the mentions, Col. I'm in with some fine people. Good luck to all!!
