Sturgeon award nomination?!?!?
I am so amazed and grateful to announce that my story “An Infestation of Blue” (Analog, Nov/Dec 2023) has been nominated for the Theodore Sturgeon award! The Sturgeon award was established in 1987 to recognize that most outstanding SF short story of the year, and has showcased work by some of my biggest writing heroes, including Ursula K. LeGuin, Ted Chiang, Nancy Kress, and Ken Liu.

| A touching, funny, one with some fabulously gross moments! I thought this one handled grief and family issues very well. | |

| What makes this story so unsettling is the low-key and ordinary language the author uses throughout the entire book. It's like la-di-da, just another work day, oops I just talked to a demon. At no point is there a sense of melodrama or an attempt to ...more | |

10/10, perfect, no notes. Oh, a review? Crap. Well, this is a story about the ways we break each other and are broken by each other. It's about how horror movies work and don't work. It's about the darkness that exists in everyone and what happens when ...more |

“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”

“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”
