So a bunch of the sf&f author blogs I follow have been mentioning that the nominations are open for the 2013 Hugo Awards, and listing their works that are eligible. Since that seems to be the tradition, I thought I’d do the same.
For those of you who don’t know, the Hugos Awards are the highest awards given in the literary fields of science fiction & fantasy. They’re held at Worldcon each year, and voted on by everyone who is registered for the convention. If you plan on attending Worldcon this year, or if you attended it in 2012, you are eligible to nominate!
At this point in my career, I know it’s pretty unrealistic to think that I have a chance of winning. Still, it doesn’t hurt to dream a little. I figure that since all the other authors in the field list their eligible works each year, I should do the same.
I have one work that qualifies for the novelette category: Star Wanderers: Outworlder. There are others in the series that also qualify, but I think this is the best one, and also the one that works best as a standalone. It’s available for free from every major ebook retailer, so if you haven’t already read it, feel free to pick up a copy.
That’s just about it. I didn’t publish any novels in 2012, but I should have at least a couple out for consideration next year. The nomination form for the 2013 Hugo is here, and the nominations are open until March 10th.
That’s just about it. Thanks, and I’ll see you around!
