Secret Lives on Brit Fantasy Award Longlist? (Want One?)
Wow, the collection that fell into a black hole of doom and garnered hardly any reviews (despite being close to selling out) made the British Fantasy Awards longlist, and the looooong list in this case, for story collections, ain’t really that long. (How many votes put it on there? One? Two? Three? Doesn’t matter to me.)
I care less and less about awards these days having been too often privy to the garbage that goes on behind the scenes, but it perked up my day a bit to see that just because of the extreme radio silence regarding a book I thought was pretty unique and a lot of fun. (One exception, on Dark Roasted Blend: “This book takes my pick as the most intriguing and under-appreciated publishing event of the year. It even has a strange, unaccounted story on the other side of the cover.â€)
Speaking of which, Prime owing me big time for, er, lots of things allowed me to purchase a case of Secret Lives at a significant discount. Signed, numbered, limited to 1,000 copies. Drop me an email at vanderworld at hotmail.com if you want one for $20 ($15 off the cover price) plus $3.50 shipping in the US, $10 shipping anywhere else. Or just paypal me the amount at the same email addy, including the address to ship to. And let me know if you want it personalized even though it’s already signed. ($10 shipping will also cover overseas orders of two copies, oddly enough; anything higher, query. $5 shipping will cover US shipping for two copies; again, query for bigger orders.)

Wish I could, but I have precisely no money. Not even for food.
If you have any left on Friday, I’m in.
God, yeah, I won’t be able to afford this until the 15th, and no way there’ll be any left by then.
I’ll take one. I’ll attempt the paypal thing in just a bit.
I’ll be checkin’ my hotmail account shortly. Undead–sounds to me like you shouldn’t be buying books at all.
If you want to reserve one, and you’re *sure* you’ll actually be sending the money, no worries. This is a pretty big case of books. Just email to reserve, then. If you back out, though, Evil Monkey will rip off your balls or rip out your ovaries. ;)

What’s all this talk of ‘Secret Lives’? A new VanderBook has burgeoned forth, undetected by my Sauronesque gaze? I tolerate no subterfuge. The book is mine. I wave my ring of power; the book is compelled to obey my summons.
ps: I do hope you win.
er prob won’t even make the short list since few have seen the book over there. again, generally don’t care.
I already own the book, otherwise I would have ordered one asap. The layout and format is really nice and the stories are great.
Thanks so nice
