A First Time for Everything, Pg 7

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      Amongst the things that I could honestly say I miss, few of them involve the word "hurtling." Maybe it's just me...      And in case anyone's interested in a recent poem of mine, " All Work and No Play " is up for free reading at Abyss & Apex . It's also been nominated for the Science-fiction and Fantasy Poetry's Association's Rhysling Award in the "long" category. And my short-story-disguised-as-a-poetry-collection, " Two Strikes and I'm Out ," has been nominated for SFPA's Elgin Award in the "full-length book" category . So much going on!

The Terebinth Story Archive      Lamont's so magnanimous! Or maybe that should be ":ignoramus"...      And in case anyone's interested in another recent poem of mine, " All Work and No Play " is up for free reading at Abyss & Apex . It's also been nominated for the Science-fiction and Fantasy Poetry's Association's Rhysling Award in the "long" category. And my short-story-disguised-as-a-poetry-collection, " Two Strikes and I'm Out ," has been nominated for SFPA's Elgin Award in the "chapbook" category . So much going on!

The Daily Grind Table of Contents      D'you s'ppose it counts as paranoia when you hide out inside an asteroid for millions of years just in case anyone might be looking for you? Yeah, I reckon so...

Two Award Nominations

Image
They're both from:      The Science-fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association , so one would be correct in thinking that they're both for poetry.      The first is a nomination in the "long" category of the Rhysling Awards for my poem " What Water Says ," published on the Eternal Haunted Summer website back in December. And the second is a nomination in the "full-length book" category of the Elgin Awards for my short-story-disguised-as-a-collection-of-poems, " Two Strikes and I'm Out " that came out from Island of Wak-Wak last summer.      So far, only the Rhysling nomination is showing on their website if you page down to the bottom of the list of finalists. But I assume the Elgin Award one will show up eventually on their page devoted to those lists . We'll all find out together!                     ...
