Oh hi, I didn’t see you there. My name’s Matt Wallace, and I’d like to talk with you today about 2019’s genre fiction award season and your responsibility to yourself and

I’m just fuckin’ with you. But what is serious is how 2019 is a big year for my Sin du Jour series of books, awards eligibility-wise, and kind of its last year, too.

I just posted a video about it, in fact. You should click here and check it out.

If you’re not a video person (and we’ve learned from lyin’-ass Facebook that you’re probably not), basically it’s the first year Sin du Jour is eligible for the Best Series Award. Also, TASTE OF WRATH, the final book in the series, is eligible for Best Novella, the last Sin du Jour book that will be eligible in the category.
