Apocalyptic Four

The good news continues into 2010 for Women of the Apocalypse.  We received notification that Women of the Apocalypse has been nominated in the English Works (Other) category (this category is for anthologies and magazines) and Eileen Bell’s novella ‘Pawns Dreaming of Roses‘ has been nominated in the English Short Works (an amazing feat considering there were over 125 other entries).

The Aurora Awards are for the best Canadian SF/fantasy of the year  as voted by the fans.  Voting will begin shortly (and on this site we’ll announce how and where you can vote ) — with the winning selection announced at Keycon in Winnipeg the May 21st-23rd weekend.

Vue Weekly, a weekly entertainment newspaper for Edmonton, recently reviewed Women of the Apocalypse.

As a whole, her are some of the finer snippets:

“The freshness and playfulness of the theme is infectious.”

“…though the stories do get progressively darker, the transition feels natural and not jarring…”

“… there is a refreshing lack of black and white dogma…”

“… another narrative thread of semi-poetical nature that intrigued, foreshadowed and enriched the story.”

“It’s a wondrously creative concept and the individuality of each champion of humanity is emphasized by the disparateness existing between the writing styles of each story’s author. Each story is a unique experience wholly self-sustained and entertaining.”
