Apparently, the thing to do at this juncture is to say, Ahem, it’s Nebula-nominating time, and, well, I’ve got a few things to draw your attention to…
So, um, here they are:
“Eastlick” –in Black Static, May 2009. I love this story. It’s not in the least autobiographical. Well, except for the setting, and the pre-teen emotions. And some details. But, other than that, nope, not at all.
“By the Sea”–in the anthology Grants Pass. This uber-cool post-apocalyptic anthology is getting some Stoker attention, BTW….
Rolling Steel (collab with Jay Lake), Clarkesworld, April 2009. A collaboration with Jay, and also a podcast. Do I need to say anything more?
Okay, that’s surely plenty. Go forth and nom(inate). Or don’t. It’s all good. I’ll still like you. 🙂

In other news: I edited the first two chapters of Demonhead last night, and they actually did not suck. Of course, the beginnings of books never do, when you’re at the wide-open part of the parabola. So, I’m sure it will be horrible as I progress. But so far: not horrible. I might even do some more tonight… And Jay has been working on Our Lady, and reports that it similarly does not suck. (Except for that inexplicable bit about the shoal beds.) So, yay!

Day Jobbe, on the other hand, sucks quite a bit. But: four days left. I can do this…
