So, this happened last night! I was honored with the Robert Bloch award. Touched and humbled by all this kindness and generosity. I am so happy that my words and my work have made a positive impact in the world of weird. Flying my weird flag and wearing my weird crown proudly.

Huge congratulations 🥳- love this news.

Ann VanderMeer · 1 · 7h ago

Thank you! Miss you. When will I see you?

@gavreads · 0 · 7h ago

Same. I would have said in Portland but I’ve not got any USA trips planned. However, it’s a bit away but I am planning on Montréal 2027 Worldcon? So there, maybe?

Ann VanderMeer · 1 · 4h ago

Yes! I'm hoping to make it to Montreal next year. (Note: I live in Tallahassee, FL)

@gavreads · 0 · 4h ago

Brilliant. Hopefully see you there. I just wanted an excuse coffee in Powell’s Books . Tallahassee, I’m sure has equivalent or better coffee (I am hopefully not starting a cross state coffee war with that statement.)
