Bram Stoker Nominations

The nominations for the 2006 Bram Stoker Award have been announced.
Because I am not a voting member, or even a HWA member (one day I hope to be a memeber), I can openly say "Congrats Jeff Strand for the nomination for Pressure! I hope you win!"

There is a lot of great work in the nomination list. Get out and read some of it.
