World Fantasy Awards

WHAT. “Like a River Loves the Sky” is a finalist for the World Fantasy Award for short fiction! I AM EXTREMELY SURPRISED AND HAPPY.

The other four finalists are all fantastic stories I’ve read and loved this past year, and in fact an exciting part of this for me is that one of my current short fiction idols, Sarah Pinsker, is on that list for her excellent and horrifying story The Court Magician. (Sarah, if you ever see this, ilu, maybe this year in L.A. we can reprise last con’s 2am stump-the-band/karaoke session, which you may or may not remember as fondly as I do…)
