The nominees for this year’s Ditmar awards have been released. There’s a full list available here. I’m really impressed with how many women there are on the ballot. Clearly there is some sort of secret feminist cabal at work here. 🙂

What I want to do here, however, is highlight the very large number of fiction nominees that are available in my bookstore. Just look…
