The nomination period for the 2017 Hugo Awards and John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer is now open, and that means it's time to go over the list of what I published in 2016. Please keep in mind that you must have been a member of last year's Worldcon, OR be a member of this year's Worldcon, OR be a member of next year's Worldcon to be ( Read more... )

Dear God, you're prolific.

And as for Feed, when I read it and found out how many books you had out, I was wondering how I had missed you before. Until I found out you'd only been published for three years at that point.

If that had been the only thing I ever published, I would still have had something to be proud of.

Absolutely. I'm going to be off work from the 19th to the 29th of January as I'm having ulnar nerve surgery on my right elbow, and rereading Every Heart a Doorway is on my list of things to do while I'm recovering. I already have the scar on my left elbow from that surgery; it's long-ish and jaggedy.

I was going to have Hobbiton tattooed at one end and Mount Doom at the other. I'm thinking of doing Dark Tower for the right. Having the Tower itself as the endpoint makes sense, but what do you think should be the starting point? Gilead? I can't think how to represent it, and I thought I would ask you because you might have thoughts on it as a King fan.

I am making my own eligibility post! It is two items long, but I am very pleased with myself for having anything at all.

What about Best in Show? I loved that story! :)

Yes. Yes, you would. But I am glad, and so very grateful that it isn't the only thing. :-)

Hi Seanan. Can I ask what category "Something In the Rain" from Defying Doomsday belongs to, or was it previously published elsewhere? Because I loved that story.

Thanks!
