It’s been a rough 12 months, hasn’t it? I haven’t made of of these in a few years, but I’m trying to do better. Here are the categories I’m eligible in:
NOVELLA
- Burning Roses, Publisher: Tor.com
NOVEL
- Critical Point, Publisher: Tor Books
SERIES
- The Cas Russell Series, Publisher: Tor Books
SHORT STORY
- “The Million-Mile Sniper”, Publisher: The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction (also available on the SFWA forums)
- “Add Oil”, Publisher: Avatars Inc. anthology, XPRIZE Foundation
I think that’s about it. I’m assuming it’s late enough in the season that this is going to be primarily useful to people who have already read my work, but if anyone is inclined to read one thing before the various awards nominations close, I’d recommend Burning Roses. I think it’s one of my particularly strong works overall — and it’s also now faced several instances of professional racism, which makes me pretty sad, and it helps to know that there are other people out there giving it its just consideration. Plus, the New York Times said they “hope to see [Burning Roses] on next year’s awards lists”, so I can only hope they’re prescient!
Sincerely, thank you for any thought anybody puts into considering my work.
