I am quite pleased to note that my Sunspin novella, The Weight of History, the Lightness of the Future ", originally published at Subterranean Online , is a finalist for the 2013 Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award . I am quite amused to note that of the four major awards I have been nominated for this year, all in the novella category, I share the nomination in all four cases with Aliette de Bodard and Nancy Kress . Clearly we three shall need to meet at dawn upon a field of honor. Perhaps fountain pen nibs at ten paces. Nancy and I have been teasing one another about it since the Hugo nominations came out.
