"Tow" and Ursa Major Award nominations
10 years ago
General
It's that time of year again. And again, this year I have things eligible for nomination! Unlike past years, I have no longer works, but I have two short stories.
The first story is "Tow," from The Furry Future anthology and now posted here. If you'd like to buy the full anthology--and it's got a few terrific stories in it---you can read more about it and find links on my for sale page.
The second story is "Fixer," from Inhuman Acts. While the full story isn't online (the anthology's pretty new), you can read an excerpt in my gallery--and, again, you can buy the anthology by following links from my for sale page. (Both anthologies are available in print from the publisher and Amazon, Kindle ebook from Amazon, and DRM-free ebook from Bad Dog Books.)
Last but not least, Teagan Gavet's cover for The Furry Future is also eligible for an Ursa Major! It's terrific artwork, and I'd say that even if it wasn't an illustration of Gail, the protagonist of both "Tow" and Kismet. (But it is, which makes it that much more awesome.)

I haven't read Tow yet, but I did read Fixer recently. I personally didn't enjoy Fixer, and given your history with Noir work, I should have been eating it up. I dunno what happened there but I just found myself annoyed with it instead of enjoying it. Maybe it was the US setting, or the random use of furries, but overall it struck a lot of bad notes for me without striking the usual good notes I get from your stuff. :( Sry that's not too helpful.

Congrats on the nomination! Even though it isn't technically for your writing, it was still your mind put to great use with bringing in attention to backdrop and scenery for art. I still haven't read "Tow" yet but I aim too.
