WSFA Small Press Award

Back in September, I announced that Paul Miles and I were finalists for the the Washington Science Fiction Association Small Press Award but that we didn't win. We had know idea who won or who the other finalists were. At the recent Capclave 2007, the winner was revealed as “El Regalo” by Peter S. Beagle (The Line Between, Tachyon Publications).

The complete list of finalists:

• “Ivy and Thorn”, Stephanie Burgis, Quantum Kiss
• “Moon Does Run”, Edd Vick, Electric Velocipede
• “A Penny a Word”, Rick Klaw and Paul Miles, Cross Plains Universe: Texans Celebrate Robert E. Howard, Monkey Brain Books
• “Port Custodial Blues”, Vera Nazarian, Helix
• “Queen of Stars”, Bryn Sparks, Apex Science Fiction and Horror Digest
• “Through the Cooking Glass”, Vylar Kaftan, Raven Electrick
• “Tonino and the Incubus”, Peg Robinson, Helix

Congratulations to Mr. Beagle and the rest of the finalists.

WSFA Small Press Award finalists

I got an email today from Sam Scheiner, the Washington Science Fiction Association Small Press Award Administrator, informing me that Paul Miles and I were finalists in the Short Form category for our story "A Penny A Word," which originally appeared last year in the World Fantasy Award nominated Cross Plains Universe. We didn't win. But it's always nice to be recognized for your work.
