The Philosophy of Joss Whedon (University Press of Kentucky, 2011), which includes my essay "‘Just Get Us a Little Further’: Liberty and the Frontier in Firefly and Serenity," is a finalist for the 2012 Long Mr. Pointy Award, an award given by the
Whedon Studies Association for the year's best long work of scholarship on a Whedon-related topic. Yay!

The Leaky Cauldron for helping spread the word about my
