Nominations are open for the Nebula (through mid-February) and Hugo (through late March) awards. For the record, here is a selected list of my own favorite work of this past year, should you be inclined to review it for award consideration in your own nominating process. Novels Pinion , Tor Books Third volume in the Mainspring cycle, action-adventure in the clockwork Earth. Novellas The Baby Killers , PS Publishing Alternate history politics, magic and spycraft, wherein I try to address the steampunk aesthetic at all levels of the work. "The Bull Dancers", Audible.com (audio presentation as part of METAtropolis: Cascadia ) Sequel to my piece in METAtropolis , about the ultimate fate of Green cities in a world beset by a soft apocalypse. The Specific Gravity of Grief , Fairwood Press My intensely personal study of a genre writer riddled with cancer. Arguably more appropriate for "Best Related Book". Novelettes "Coming for Green", The Sky That Wraps , Subterranean Press An exploration of the Green universe from the perspective of a much put-upon secondary character. Short Stories " The Starship Mechanic " with Ken Scholes, tor.com Our joint project from a writer-in-the-window session at Borderlands Books, about an alien lost on Earth. " From the Countries of Her Dreams " with Shannon Page, Fantasy Magazine A side tale from the Green universe from another perspective. " The Speed of Time ", tor.com Structurally experimental view of the end of the universe. "If This Were a Romance" with Shannon Page, Love and Rockets , DAW Books Exactly what it says on the tin. A romance set on a generation ship. "Torquing Vacuum" , Clarkesworld Backstory on three important characters from my Sunspin space opera project. Best Related Book The Specific Gravity of Grief , Fairwood Press My intensely personal study of a genre writer riddled with cancer. Also, I am eligible for nomination as Best Fan Writer for this blog, and as Best Editor, Short Form, for METAtropolis: Cascadia .
