The final Nebula ballot is now public, and on it in the short story category is my story “Pride.” If you are a member of Denvention or were a member of Nippon2007, please consider it for Hugo nomination. The deadline is coming right up: Saturday, March 1.

Of course, you should buy a copy of Fast Forward 1. In addition to my story, you’ll love the mind-twisters by Kage Baker, Paolo Bacigalupi, Tony Ballantyne, Stephen Baxter, Elizabeth Bear, A. M. Dellamonica, Paul Di Filippo, Robyn Hitchcock, Louise Marley, Ken MacLeod, Ian McDonald, John Meaney, Larry Niven and Brenda Cooper, Mike Resnick and Nancy Kress, Justina Robson, Pamela Sargent, Mary A. Turzillo, Robert Charles Wilson, Gene Wolfe, and George Zebrowski. This anthology is mining territory for the Hugo gold, not to mention its brilliant editor, Lou Anders.

And if you’re looking for additional great material for Hugo nomination, don’t neglect my novelette, "Zora and the Land Ethic Nomads , from George Mann's Solaris Book of New Science Fiction , not to speak of all the other great stories, by such as Jeffrey Thomas, Neal Asher, Jay Lake, Greg van Eekhout, James Lovegrove, Paul Di Filippo, Peter F Hamilton, Adam Roberts, Stephen Baxter, Ian Watson, Mike Resnick, David Gerrold, Brian Aldiss, Keith Brooke, Simon Ings, Tony Ballantyne, and Eric Brown.
