Stories eligible for awards

The Nebula Award nomination deadline is close and the Hugo Award one isn’t far off, which means I need to decide what I’m nominating – and, for those of you who are also deciding, I thought I would offer up some of my own work for your consideration! They’re all in the short story category.

“Feed Me the Bones of Our Saints” in Strange Horizons – I think this is one of the best stories I’ve ever written, if not the best (so far). Bogi Takács agrees!

“The 17th Contest of Body Artistry” in Expanded Horizons – This one’s been surprisingly popular! K Tempest Bradford included it in her favourite stories of 2012, and Benjamin Gabriel did the same in the Strange Horizons 2012 round-up. I also found out yesterday that Polenth Blake plans to nominate it for the Nebulas!

“Fox Bones. Many Uses.” in Beneath Ceaseless Skies – More foxes!

“Numismatics in the Reigns of Naranh and Viu” in The Mammoth Book of Steampunk – Lots of coins! (I’m happy to send people a copy of this story if they want to read it.)
