Mercurio is #25
I’m considering getting T-shirts printed celebrating the fact that “I’m #25!” I’m serious. My little Abyss & Apex story, “Snatch Me Another,” continues to chug along, finishing at #25 on Locus’s Year-End Recommended List for 2008. The # 25 spot is quite an honor considering the total number of genre stories published in 2008 and the formidable cast of all-star writers that occupy the top 24 spots. So thanks everyone for the support! It’s much appreciated.
“Snatch Me Another” also made the StorySouth Million Writers List of Notable Stories for 2008 and recently received an honorable mention in Gardner Dozois’s Year’s Best SF Annual Collection 26th Edition (along with my two Interzone stories “The Scent of Their Arrival” and “The Fifth Zhi”). It will be appearing in Unplugged: The Web’s Best Sci Fi and Fantasy, Download 2008, edited by Rich Horton (Wyrm Publishing), which is available for pre-order at amazon.com.
I’m #25! Yee-hah! Now where can I get those T-shirts made …?
