Congratulations to Jonathan Strahan, for the editorial nomination, and whose The Book of Witches (Harper Voyager) is an Anthology finalist. I have a story, ‘As Wayward Sisters, Hand in Hand’, in that one.
Congratulations to Neil Clarke, for the editorial nomination, and whose book The Best Science Fiction of the Year: Volume 7 (Arcade Publishing) is an Anthology finalist. Neil kindly included my story ‘A Necessary Being’, first published in Gideon Lichfield’s Make Shift (MIT Press), in the latter.
