While attending the World Fantasy Convention in Columbus, Ohio, I had the pleasure of meeting author M.K. Hobson. Her debut novel, The Native Star was a delight to read, and she was kind enough to answer some questions about herself and her writing for our readers.

2010 Sunburst Award Winners by Chadwick Ginther - Thursday, Sep 30, 2010 at 10:53am

The Sunburst Awards, celebrating Canadian literature of the fantastic, have released the winners in both adult and young adult categories. Congratulations to A.M. Dellamonica, whose debut novel Indigo Springs, won the adult award and Hiromi Goto, whose Half World took the young adult award.

On Indigo Springs the jurors had this to say:

"Original, passionate, lyrical and powerful, entertaining and terrifying at once, Dellamonica's debut novel examines how both good intentions and good people can be overthrown by the temptations of power."

On Half World:

"Goto's style is gruesome rather than gory; neither horror nor dark fantasy but entirely original and unclassifiable. Richly imagined phantasmagoric scenes decorate every iridescent page. Goto's stylish incendiary prose lifts Half World above the YA category; this novel crosses age boundaries and could just as easily be categorized as a book for adults."

The jurors for the 2010 award were Don Bassingthwaite, Gemma Files, Susie Moloney, Ursula Pflug and Edward Willett. In 2011 the jurors will be Julie E. Czerneda, Kate Freiman, Mark Leslie, Christopher Roden and Alison Sinclair.

Dellamonica was interviewed by McNally Robinson upon Indigo Springs' release. You can read a review of her award winning novel here.

The Mediocre Assassin's Handbook by Tamara Sheehan by Chadwick Ginther - Thursday, Jul 08, 2010 at 9:37am

Hyabusa Jao isn't much of an assassin--at least he hasn't been since his partner and lover Waya was killed. Jao's sadistic boss has given him one more chance to get his head straight, if he doesn't: he won't be a mediocre assassin, he'll be a dead one.
