Nebula Nominations Time

I'm rather surprised at how many stories of mine came out this year--although I shouldn't be, since last year was very much taken up by writing them.  By the strange and wonderful Nebula word-counts, they're all novelettes (between 7,500 and 17,500).  For those who are interested, "Ghost" is the longest at 10,400.  If you haven't read it yet, you can click on the link below.

“The Ghost of Cwmlech Manor,” Steampunk!, ed. Grant & Link, Candlewick Press, 2011

“Flying.”  Teeth, ed. Datlow & Windling, HarperCollins, 2011

“How the Pooka Came to New York City,”  Naked City, ed. Datlow, St. Martin’s Press, 2011

I am of two (or more) minds about blowing my horn for my own work.  On the one hand, this is the 21st Century, and that is the way things are done here.  On the other, I'm more of a 19th Century girl.  Still and all, these are my babies.  And I'd be a terrible fiction-parent if I didn't push them out onto the public stage one more time, with earnest assurances that I love them all equally and am proud as Punch at how they turned out.

You can only nominate for the Nebula if you are an active SFWA member.  If you are, here's the ballot.  All nominations are due by February 15th.

My novel The Freedom Maze (Big Mouth House) is eligible for the Andre Norton Award for Best Young Adult Novel, a sort of companion to the Nebulas.  The Nebulas and their rules are well-explained here.
