Burning Girls is also available on Tor.com. I’m keeping my eye out for the other stories.
Of course! Good ol’ Joe…always on top of the free fiction…
I swear there’s a Charlie Brown joke hiding in there somewhere, but that’s what you keep me around for, isn’t it?
Both the free fiction and the jokes!
I just left a comment at Adventures in Reading and updated the above post with a link to the Kenneth Schneyer story. (Thanks, Mike Allen!)
Score!
History tells me that Asimov’s can take a couple of weeks to post their stories.
Wow! The Red: First Light is a Nebula Finalist? That’s amazing! Really loved that book!
And a real win for self-publishing too!
Yes, with the caveat that Nagata has previously been published by “traditional” publishers and has previously won a Nebula Award. That is a bit different than if I wrote a novel, self published it, and hoped to possibly score an award nomination.
I’m not saying it isn’t going to happen in the future, but I wouldn’t read too much into Nagata’s nomination. It’s a small shift of possibility, but not a big win of self publishing.
Does Peter F. Hamilton ever get these things?
Nebulas? Not yet. His award history can be found here.
I’ll have to take a closer look at Gannon’s FIRE WITH FIRE. The packaging and blurbs make it look like a pretty standard Baen space opera.
Links are posted at Asimov’s.
Thanks, Joe! Links updated.
