The Kitschies are a British award for science fiction and fantasy; every year they choose some marvellous books to honour. This year, I’m proud and pleased announce that they’ve shortlisted the UK editions of my novels Pirate Cinema and Homeland for the “Inky Tentacle” award for best cover. Both covers were designed by the studio Amazing15 for my British publishers, Titan Books. I’m indebted to the judging panel and the Kitchie volunteers — thank you!
