My book has been nominated for a 2009 Goodreads Choice Award

Blog, The Impostor's Daughter: A True Memoir, books

I just got an e-mail from the features editor at Goodreads–The Impostor’s Daughter has been nominated for a 2009 Goodreads Choice Award in the “Graphic Novel” category! That’s kind of amazing; it’s the first time the book has been nominated for anything. I’m hoping you, my ten faithful readers, can help me out by voting here; just scroll down to Poll #9 and click on The Impostor’s Daughter: A True Memoir. Here’s the rub: If you’re not already a member of Goodreads, you have to become one. But it takes two seconds and I would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to do whatever they are asking–whether it’s giving them half your first book advance, allowing them to name your first child, or donating a kidney–since the voting results are going to be posted and I’d hate to show up dead last. By the way, I don’t expect to win; I’m up against Stitches by David Small, The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb, and Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli, among other heavy-hitters. But maybe I can beat that zombie book? (Unlikely, if you consider the success of Pride & Prejudice and Zombies…) OK, it’s official–I need your vote!

    Wow. Well, between the Italian publisher and the award nomination, I would say you scored pretty well with this book! I never have had an Italian publisher! (I had one award nomination but didn’t win.)
    CONGRATULATIONS. I will now go become a member of Goodreads.

    Thank you, Merrill! It has indeed been an exciting week. And your books should be published in every language.

    People take one look at my work and say I should try writing in Pig Latin.

    Oh, just for info. Joining is very easy. I had a little more trouble finding the poll to vote. I ended up just searching the book and then at the bottom of all the comments it had the choices to vote. (This all gave me a chance to rate the book :-) )
