Action is more interesting than inaction. - I'm on the (preliminary) Nebula ballot!

The official announcement is out. "The Evolution of Trickster Stories Among the Dogs of North Park After the Change" from Coyote Road, is on the preliminary ballot. I think this is my first time.

Next step: SFWA members will get a preliminary ballot with this compete list. That vote will winnow the list down to six finalists in each category, which will be voted on (again) in a final ballot to pick a single work. The winners will be announced in April at the Nebula banquet in Austin. (Austin! If I get to the final ballot I am so going.)

SFWA members, if you would like to read "Evolution of Trickster Stories..", email me at username at gmail, and I can email you the file, or send you to a private link.
