2009 Award Pimping

(Cuz all the cool kidz are doing it too). For the curious, I do have some award eligible work this year. 2008, I think, was a banner year in short stories in addition to the two novels. For the curious:

Novel:

Sly Mongoose (you can read the first third free at link)

Novella:

Stochasti-city in METAtropolis (iTunes link)

Short Story:

Mitigation (w/ Karl Schroeder) – Fast Forward 2 (Fall, 2008)
Resistance – Seeds of Change (Summer, 2008) (FREE READ: read it here, listen to audio)
The People’s Machine – Sideways in Crime (Summer, 2008) (FREE READ: read it here)
Manumission – Baen’s Universe (April, 2008) (1/2 free read: read the first 1/2 here)

note: now that its period of exclusivity is up, I released The People’s Machine under a non-commercial creative commons license.

Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form (for your Hugo consideration):

METAtropolis (audio book (iTunes link), written by Tobias Buckell, Elizabeth Bear, Jay Lake, John Scalzi and Karl Schroeder; read by Scott Brick, Michael Hogan, Alessandro Juliani, Kandyse McClure and Stefan Rudnicki)

And I should add, as always, your support and votes in the past, and any in the future, have always been surprising and appreciated and are amazing and I thank you all that do vote for me. I’ve been lucky to have such great readers and to have been nominated for what awards I’ve been.
