I'm so honored and excited that A Comb of Wishes is a nominee for the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a Middle Grade Novel! This is the inaugural year for the middle grade speculative fiction category and it is filled with wonderful dark speculative fiction that speaks to kids' courage and heart. So happy that more readers will find A Comb of Wishes due to this honor.
The Stoker Award winners will be announced at a gala on June 17, 2023 in Pittsburgh during StokerCon. Good luck to all of the nominees! It's been almost a year since the publication of A Comb of Wishes and it's been an amazing ride so far. Thank you to all of the readers, teachers, librarians, and booksellers who have embraced the book!
