I finished another 1,000 words on the novel, and I have some pleasant news. The Mystery of the Mad Science Teacher has made the shortlist for a book award. The Calgary Public Library has a new award for Alberta books, and my book is in the semi-final round. The finalists will be announced in the first week of September and the ultimate winner is announced at the end of September.
I don't know if my book has any shot of making the final three, but it's always nice to get some recognition for the work. Anyway, I'm shutting down the writing for the day so that I can do a session at the Edmonton Humane Society. It's an all cat weekend. Tomorrow, I'm signing books at the Cat Fanciers' Show. Come down to the Shaw Conference Centre and say hi. Or just come down and see the kitties.
