If you’ve read more than a couple of posts on this blog then you’ve probably deduced it is mainly a platform for self-promotion. So, with that in mind, why the post about the James White Award? Because I made the shortlist!
It’s fascinating to see the first 250 words of each of the shortlisted stories. Even though the stories have their differences, the elements that make for a good opening are present in each. It’s humbling to see my story listed there among them, and I am looking forward to seeing which story emerges from the thunderdome Eastercon as the winner. Best of luck to my fellow shortlisties.
