Attached Link: My website

One of my short stories, *Escher*, has been shortlisted for the Aeon Award, run by the Albedo One magazine, which is a world speculative fiction award. There are 33 stories on the short list out of 600 entries, and, should I place in the top three finalists, the story may be reprinted in *Year's Best Fantasy & Horror* or *Year's Best Science Fiction* books.

I am not entirely sure when the winners will be announced, but I will update this thread if I do place in the top three.

That's great news! Congratulations! Good for you for taking the chance to put your talent out for others to enjoy! claps

I wish I had the courage to follow my dream but I'm too shy and have turned down a novel offer as well as the publication of one of my short stories. I draw too much of myself into my writing and the idea of it being "out there" for all to read/see makes me feel way too vulnerable and exposed.

This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

That's great news! Congratulations!
Don't forget about all us "little people" when you become a famous novelist and travel around the world on book-signing tours.

Congratulations! I'm still waiting to hear from you on the release of the book you did a cover contest for. I STILL want to read the rest of that one! just looked at your website and see it's already out now. How'd I miss the announcement?

Lostinspaceman,

Lol, maybe you were lost in space when I announced the release...

The book is doing well, and I will be signing my first translation deal in December, so the book will be available in Polish as well, and distributed in Poland. Things are going much better than I had ever hoped.

Good luck! You have loads of talent, and you deserve at least a nod of the head. You did good!
