We’ve nearly made it through another year, and it’s been a busy one.\u00a0 Still one big event left for me: WorldCon in DC, and with it, this year’s Hugo Awards.<\/p>\n

Honestly, it was such an honor for\u00a0Worldbuilding for Masochists<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0just to be nominated.\u00a0 I’m thrilled to be going as a nominee, that our work has been recognized by the community.\u00a0 I have no further expectations, but we’ll see what happens.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, here’s what I’m doing at WorldCon.\u00a0 If you are also coming, please say hello.<\/p>\n

\nIn the meantime, a reminder that I had two books come out in 2021, and I’m incredibly proud of both of them.\u00a0 If you haven’t picked them up yet, now’s a fantastic time.\u00a0 And if you have, they both make excellent gifts for the reader on your holiday gift list.
