Thank you, btw.

A true pleasure, Jay. That's a story that transcends, I think.

Thank you. It's my favorite of my published work, and one of my two favorite pieces of my short fiction ever. (The other is a forthcoming novella entitled "The Baby Killers.")

Unfortunately, "America, Such As She Is" was so little-read that it received essentially no critical or award attention whatsoever, so most people have never heard of it.

We do what we can. The rest is up to the readers.

Thank you, Jim! I'm thrilled that you enjoyed "Sinner, Baker, etc."

[jimvanpelt]

It was very nice. Thanks for writing it.

Oh, look, a Venue! For those last minute nominations...

From the Nebula Commissioner: Please do not put your nominations in quotes, brackets, or do other typographical gussying up. This is not the Chicago Manual of Style--all we need is the name of the work, comma, author's name. To do elsewise results in duplications and lots of work for the Nebula Commissioner (who would be me).

Also, as your 6th grade spelling teacher used to say: Spelling counts.

Thank you.

Uh oh. I'm pretty sure I put quotes around one of my titles before I realized I could do the cut and paste thing.
