Heather's story "Mountain, Man" (which we always say aloud as "Mountain Comma Man") is online at Escape Pod for your listening pleasure. It appeared in print in the most recent Ratbastard's chapbook. Heather rocks! (Don't forget to come see us read at Borderlands this Sunday at 3 p.m., either!)

I always feel awkward about this, but, hell -- lots of other people have been pointing out the stories they had published this year that may be eligible for various awards and things, so I'll chime in. If any awards judges, people who nominate for the Nebulas or the Hugos, etc. want to read any of these, drop me a note, and I'll send you a copy.

"Dream Engine" in Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show, Fall 2006. [Starring Howlaa Moor, reluctant guardian of Nexington-on-Axis, the city at the center of the multiverse, and his partner/jailer Wisp. They fight crime!]
