Two bits of small news this morning:

1) The storySouth Millions Writers Award Notable Stories List has been released, and I'm very pleased to note that my short story, Love in the Absence of Mosquitoes, earned a mention on the list.

Equally importantly, several other friends, publications and excellent work ended up getting honored. It wasn't a ( Read more... )

1. As I announced in a couple places elsewhere, my poem Snowmelt was nominated for a Rhysling Award ( Read more... )

And now for my stuff:

Novelette: Trickster. Not just my first sale to Clarkesworld, but also a story that I was quite pleased with, and which, as far as I'm concerned, already received the very best type of award in the form of a complete stranger who read it and got exactly what I was trying to do. I rarely pay attention to reviews but I have ( Read more... )

Auuugh. I see it's the time of year again when we all pimp our various tales and doings and hope that our fellow writers and voters will notice. Did I say, auugh? Probably not loudly enough ( Read more... )

I was way too sick to post about this last night, but in case you missed it, The 2011 Hugo and Campbell nominees were announced yesterday. The important thing here to note is that rachel_swirsky was nominated for "The Lady Who Plucked Red Flowers Beneath the Queen's Window", and Geoffrey Landis for "The Sultan of the Clouds," and aliettedb for "The Jaguar's House in ( Read more... )

A surprise, because as I've previously noted, Fantasy Magazine had a very good year last year, and I expected this story to be completely overshadowed by other ( Read more... )

I'm a bit late with this news, but it seems that Eric Shanower and Scottie Young just won an Eisner Award for Best Limited Series for the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. I haven't been covering that adaptation in my Oz posts over at Tor.com, but it's well worth checking out.

Well, this is a genuine shock.

Playing With Spades apparently just made the British Fantasy Awards 2010 Longlist.

Much thanks to csecooney for pointing this out to me - this award is usually completely off my radar, so I wasn't paying much attention to the list - and in my defense, it looks as if oldcharliebrown, who is better at keeping track of such things, missed it ( Read more... )

Sigh. I feel uncomfortable with doing this, but since I got nudged about this, and since everyone else seems to be doing it, you can find a list of my Nebula eligible works here. Basically, everything except for "The Fuddles of Oz" (originally published in Canada) and the poetry since July 2008 is eligible. Since most of them appeared in out-of- ( Read more... )
