“Waystation City” Finalist for World Fantasy Award!

Sometimes you find delightful news in your inbox. Last Sunday, among the marketing emails and newsletters, there was a email titled “World Fantasy Award Nomination” and it began with “Congratulations.”

I’m delighted to share that “Waystation City“, first published in Uncanny Magazine, and then featured on LeVar Burton Reads, is a finalist in the short fiction category of the World Fantasy Awards! I truly couldn’t be more thrilled that this story is on this list.

Especially because there are some amazing writers and stories on the ballot this year.

The awards will be announced at the World Fantasy Convention in Niagara Falls, October 17th-20th. I’m planning on being there!

World Fantasy Convention 2018

I’m planning on attending WFC in Baltimore this year.  I’m super excited for it! This is my second time going to World Fantasy, but the first time I’m on programing. I’ll be on a panel on Sunday and have a reading Friday night.

Here’s my schedule:

Author Reading – Friday, 10/2 at 10:30 pm

Not sure what’ll I’ll be reading yet, but I’m planning on bring homemade cookies for the audience.

Best Meals Ever Written – Sunday, 11/4 at 11:00am

“A discussion of feasts and meals and what makes them
great is it a tragic ending like the Red Wedding or a highly
detailed description of the food so fans can replicate the
cuisine, or something in between.”

The panelists are Scott Edelman, Aliette de Bodard, S. M. Stirling, S. A Chakraborty, A. T.
Greenblatt

As always, if you’re attending the convention and you spot me, please feel free to come say hello.
