January 9, 2017

The nomination period for the 2017 Hugo Awards is now open. Below is what I am eligible for and what I published in 2016 I believe deserves to be nominated.

Novels
The Last Days of Salton Academy, YA horror novel – Ragnarok Publications
(While I had two other omnibuses and a fiction collection published, none of those are eligible and I am not eligible for the John W. Campbell award.)

Short Stories
“ARMIN LAAS” – ROBOTS! Origins Game Fair anthology (Science fiction)
“Inky, Blinky, and Me” – Man and Machine anthology (Science fiction)
“Dark Side Matters” – Drawing Destiny, a Sixth World Tarot anthology (Science fantasy)
“The Unfortunate Case of Sister Ruth” – Shockwaves, a V-Wars anthology (Urban fantasy)
“Feathers in Flight” – Tempest, All-New Tales of Valdemar anthology (High fantasy)

Editor – Short Form
I edited both EGM Shorts and Speculate! short fiction in 2016.

Remember, you need have been a member of last year’s Worldcon, and/or be a member of this year’s Worldcon, and/or be a member of next year’s Worldcon to be eligible to either nominate or vote.

Bubble & Squeek
January 8, 2024

It’s a hell of a good read, too. 50 Things: In case you missed it, 50 Things I Have Learned in 50 Years, Part 1 (Emotions). BackerKit: I am launching a kickstarter for in late March 2024 called “Dear Penpal, Belgium 1980.” It is a cozy, Middle Grade appropriate, ghost story, loosely based on fictionalized me at ten years old while living in a 300-year-old manor house in Belgium. Won’t you be my penpal? —–BackerKit PR: In Amazing Stories. It’s always a thrill to see my stuff in SF magazines.
