The 2013 Prix Aurora Award ballot has been announced, and I’m delighted to see that my novel Pirate Cinema is up for the prize in the Young Adult category. The Auroras are a people’s choice award given for Canadian science fiction and fantasy, and I’m delighted to be recognised in the land of my birth! The whole ballot is a great signpost to some wonderful Canadian literature, and the young adult section is particularly strong:

Best YA Novel – English
Above by Leah Bobet, Arthur A. Levine Books/Scholastic
The Calling by Kelley Armstrong, Harper Teen
Dissolve by Neil Godbout, Bundoran Press
