The Mythopoeic Society has announced the 2006 finalists for the various Mythopoeic Awards. I was delighted, but unsurprised, to see Locus colleague Tim Pratt nominated for his novel The Strange Adventures of Rangergirl and Neil Gaiman for his novel Anansi Boys in the Adult Literature category, and very chuffed to see Holly Black’s fine novel Valiant shortlisted in the Children’s Literature category. Good luck, one and all.
