Hey folks,

Things have been kind of nuts here between Viable Paradise, holiday travel, a significant re-org and cleaning of the house, home repairs galore, family matters, and all that jazz. I actually got some holiday decorations up in the midst of all of that and the house looks nice. We’ve had a couple of inches of snow and it’s been cold enough this December for it to stick around—a rarity these days but a welcome one. It’s all likely to thaw come Friday, but at least we get it for a little while.

Anyway, I’m finally tackling some email and digital housekeeping—it’s all been physical housekeeping for the recent past—and one of the things I need to do is remind you all of what I published this past year that is eligible for award season.

So here we go! Short and sweet this year, but it feels good to have a couple of things to mention!

Angel Maker (A Karen Memory Adventure), 2 September 2025 from Sobbing Squonk Press, Lauren Hougen, ed. (novel)

​

The Folded Sky (A White Space Novel), 17 June 2025 from Saga Press (U.S.) and Gollancz (U.K.) Joe Monti and Gillian Redfearn, eds. (novel)

Now back to trying to get my website updated.
