My story "Tk'tk'tk" from the March 2005 Asimov's is a nominee for the Hugo Award!

I'm not expecting to win, but it really and truly is an honor just to be nominated. And, heck, I wasn't expecting to be nominated either, so anything can happen!

The Hugo ballot will be posted on the LACon web site shortly. I anticipate that the whole story will be posted for everyone to read for free on the Asimov's web site soon too. Until then, you can read the first part of the story.

Thanks to Dave Clark, Kevin Standlee, and Kevin Roche, who mentioned the story on the Emerald City Hugo recommendations list. I'm sure this was a significant factor in its reaching the ballot. And thanks to matociquala for the Kermit icon.

And, by the way, the story title is pronounced "tick-tick-tick."

(P.S. Squeeeeeeeeeee!)

Congratulations! This is excellent news because I don't have an Asimov's sub and now the whole thing will be online for me. :)
