I promise that, here at least, this is the last you’ll hear from me about this subject, but you have only seven days left to vote for Glowing in the Dark for Book of the Year (Nonfiction) at the Rondo Hatton Awards!

Voting is easy. All you have to do is click that link and then send an email to the award administrators listing your votes. You can vote in every category, but you don’t have to. If you just want to cast your vote for Glowing in the Dark, you can easily do just that.

As I’ve made abundently clear by now, I would really like to win this award for any number of reasons. The idea of winning awards loses some of its luster once you’ve been active as a writer for a few years, but the Rondos are a special exception for me, simply because I believe so strongly in what the awards are intended to represent – the celebration, preservation, and scholarship of classic horror cinema.

(And, let’s face it, I’d really like to have a bust of Rondo Hatton of my very own.)

There’s no other award that it would mean as much for me to win but, even if Glowing in the Dark doesn’t make the final cut this time around, it will have been an honor to have made it this far, and I hope to have lots more books in the future that might one day be in the running.

Voting closes on April 20, so if you haven’t yet cast your vote, there’s still time. And while I promised that this was the last you’d hear on the subject on this here blog, you can rest assured that there will be an absolutely obnoxious amount of posting about it on social media for the next week. And, should I actually win, the celebrations will be legendary, and I will share the festive spirit with all of you who helped to make it possible!
