'tis the damn season
Eligibility. I usually can't type it correctly on the first go, but it sure is that time of year, so here we are looking back at what we published and begging readers to put us on their award ballots. Here we go! Remembered Salt, F&SF, March/April 2023 2023 marked my first appearance in F&SF, with […]
2021 in Review
Amusingly (depressingly?) the last post I made in this blog was about...2020’s eligibility. So here we are, rolling straight into 2021’s eligibility. It doesn’t matter, but here we are. Always showing up. That’s half of the work—just show up. Isn’t it? 2021, much like 2020, has been a year of challenges and changes. But the […]

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate) I'm just gonna shake, shake, […]
Best of 2014
I don't usually do best of lists, because...well, many reasons. But this turned into something of a project over the course of the year, a thing I devoted myself to beyond all boundaries, seeking the most distant stores to acquire that which was not close to hand. Thus, I present you with this list: […]
