the cover

Yesterday Sue's editor sent her the cover for her contemporary-fantasy novel "Mist". I love it! I wish I could show it to you, but Sue asked me to wait because it may not be the final version.

Hugo Nominees - novellas

I just finished the Hugo Nominees for the novella category. Here they are, in the order the worldcon site lists them and waitaminnit how come there are SIX nominees instead of the usual five? Anyway, I'm done with my Hugo reading so I guess I'll be sending my ballot later this weekend. By the way, bribes are welcome.
