Hi again, readers! Time for some more cool news!
These last few months, the prestigious Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards have been open to your voting. Each year, the awards recognize and celebrate the very best of the previous year’s horror, monster, and sci-fi creations (including films, TV episodes, Blu-rays, magazines, writers, artists, horror hosts, and of course, books).
As you may recall, one of this year’s categories was BEST BOOK ON GODZILLA’S 70TH ANNIVERSARY, and in that category was a wonderful book by Peter H. Brothers called “Gojira 1954: A 70th Anniversary Retrospective.” And in that book was an essay by yours truly!
Well, as of yesterday, the results for this year’s Rondos are officially in, and…
Woah.
What a truly awesome surprise! Finding out I was a Rondo-nominated writer was special all on its own, but becoming a runner up is its own unique kind of amazing (especially with all the other incredible Godzilla books that got nominated in the category). To everyone who gave this book your vote, I thank you!
Congratulations to Peter and all the talented writers who added to “Gojira 1954,” to the incredible Jeffrey Angles for also snagging an Honorable Mention, Thom Shubilla for getting Runner Up for his “King Kong vs. Godzilla” book (a great read!), and to the dynamic duo of Steve Ryfle and Ed Godziszewski for taking home the 1st place statue for their monumental “Godzilla: The First 70 Years.”

Thank you all for being here and for continuing to support my writing endeavors. Stay tuned for G-Fest panel announcements, coming soon to a GNP website homepage near you!
