An awesome librarian let me know I got an early Christmas present this year: I got a mention in The School Library Journal‘s Best Books of 2010 issue as part of their “Steampunk: Full Steam Ahead” list! I’m so excited — thanks so much for the heads-up, TKM!

Man, it’s hard for me to get my brain around the fact that the first Vögelein issue came out almost ten years ago, and was begun nearly fifteen years ago. Who’d have thunk it’d still be relevant? I’m really honored.
