A fantasy writer in the woods, wearing a tie with little ghost people on it, looking surprised because he just heard a strange sound.

Grateful to the judges for including my work in such excellent company, to the booksellers and librarians for their support, and to the woods and weird corners of Massachusetts for always being close.
