It was a tremendous honor to have received the Richard Laymon Award from the Horror Writers Association. As a mentor to young writers and as past president of the HWA, Richard Laymon accomplished a great deal for the horror community&#8211;and, of course, he authored many, many great horror novels and stories! He&#8217;s rightly considered a genre legend. Receiving an award named in his honor says much about the amazingly creative and supportive horror writing community.
