The Locus List
The 2009 Locus Recommended Reading List is out, and my Interzone short story “Home Again” is included in it!
I’m a little stunned to see my name appear with so many people I’m in awe of. There are several with whom I never would have expected to share a list any more specific than “Beings That Appreciate Oxygen” – conspicuous among these are four of my Clarion instructors: Kelly Link, James Patrick Kelly, Geoff Ryman, and Neil Gaiman.
Wow.
Inclusion in the Locus Recommended Reading List also means inclusion on the Locus Awards ballot. “Home Again” is a tiny story that got only a fraction of the attention of some of the others in this big category, but it would mean a lot if it didn’t come in dead last. If you read it in Interzone #221 and liked it, please vote!
The ballot is here, and “Home Again” is in the short story category, about halfway down the page. You don’t need to be a subscriber or a member, and you can vote for 5 pieces in each category. (It may take several minutes for the form to process after you hit Submit, but it looks like it does go through.)
Thanks!
