I’m pleased to report that The Bone Orchard, by Taos Toolbox veteran Sara A. Mueller, has been nominated for the Compton Crook Award.
The Bone Orchard was workshopped at Taos Toolbox, and has been generating buzz for its author ever since its publication earlier in the year.
Not to be forever harping on the subject, but if you have ambitions to write professionally in the science fiction and fantasy field, you should apply to the Toolbox. We’ve helped a lot of people write and publish and win awards, and you could be among them.
As for The Bone Orchard, here’s something to whet your appetite:
Sara A. Mueller’s The Bone Orchard is a fascinating whodunit set in a lush, gothic world of secrets and magic—where a dying emperor charges his favorite concubine with solving his own murder, and preventing the culprit, which undoubtedly is one of his three terrible sons, from taking control of an empire.
“Mueller creates an intricate and richly characterized world in her gothic fantasy debut.” — Buzzfeed
“A masterfully woven plot with refreshing narrators.”—Publishers Weekly
