7/17/05: Colonyhouse

Just back from a relaxing writing weekend at the Colonyhouse on the Oregon coast, with jaylake, dawnsister, and kateyule, plus Ken and Jen Scholes, Brian Wade, and Amanda Clark WANOLJ. Fine weather and good companionship all weekend.

When I got home from the beach, I learned I can now announce that my story "I Hold My Father's Paws" has been shortlisted for the Aeon Award. The winner of the award receives 1000 Euros, and all six shortlisted stories will appear in the Irish magazine Albedo One. The winner will be announced at the Worldcon in Glasgow. I'll be there!
