Hugo Award Nominations Open!

Apexology: Science Fiction and Fantasy CoverThe 2012 Hugo Award nominations are open! If you’re able to nominate an author, editor or publisher for a Hugo award, I hope you take the time to do so. The nominations end on January 31st and there’s a lot of great categories to list your favorites.

This year, I have one short story that would be eligible for a Hugo award. “Tailfeather” appeared in Apexology: Science Fiction & Fantasy along with seventeen other fine tales this past summer.

Good luck to my friends and peers in the community!
