Huge and thrilling news today: I have received an Aurora Award nomination for my story CLEAR AS QUARTZ, SHARP AS FLINT, published in Augur Magazine 2.1 last year!
I am so grateful and can barely believe that I’m on a ballot with so many wonderful creative people. The full ballot is up on the Aurora Awards website, but the short fiction category looks like this:
This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, Saga Press
Clear as Quartz, Sharp as Flint by Maria Haskins, Augur Magazine, issue 2.1
Alice Payne Rides by Kate Heartfield, Tor.com Publishing

Modigliani Paints the World by Hayden Trenholm, Neo-Opsis, Issue #30

Like I said, this is some amazing company to be in!
