Here's what I wrote last year that I hope folks will consider for award nominations. As it happens, there are only two things, both novelettes:

Continuing the countdown and posting to celebrate that Monday, December 29th, 2025 marks the ten year anniversary of the release of my novel 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙨𝙠: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙀𝙡𝙚𝙥𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨' 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙧𝙙.
Here are some of the blurbs that kind and generous colleagues provided:
Monday, December 29th, 2025 marks the ten year anniversary of the release of my novel 𝘽𝙖𝙧𝙨𝙠: 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙀𝙡𝙚𝙥𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙨' 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙫𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙧𝙙. I'll be posting an assortment of things to celebrate this in the remaining days of the year.
Here are some of the early reviews:
I love love love that film!
My novelette 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙇𝙞𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙞𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 is live.
It won't fix the world or change your life, but it will likely make your smile. If it accomplishes this, then I believe I've done my job. And you're welcome.
www.amazon.com/dp/B0G38FVDKK
It's a tale of metaphor, aliens, elder gods, piracy of humanity's fiction, and there's even some tea prepared with a butter made from yak milk, thrown in for good measure.
It is available for pre-order the princely sum of 99¢.
Each month, my Patreon supporters receive an image of Gej, gone but not forgotten, because life is just better with dogs.

Ghost dogs throughout the world will thank you.
The Kickstarter campaign for the 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 anthology ends in about three hours.
We've long since funded. Thank you, thank you.
Starting at 11am today there will be a celebration at a live event on Facebook. Feel free to stop by if you're feeling audacious.
And again, thank you.
While I was away at Philcon this weekend, the Kickstarter advanced! As of this afternoon, 114 backers have pledged $3263 and unlocked three Stretch Goals.
Seven days remain to the campaign, and the next Stretch Goal opens in just $237!
www.kickstarter.com/projects/sch...
Not only has the 𝑨𝒅𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒚 & 𝑨𝒖𝒅𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚 campaign funded, but it's unlocked two Stretch Goals as well. With more than a week left, I'd like to unlock a few more. I'm hoping you can help.
www.kickstarter.com/projects/sch...
Wednesday night and the 𝑨𝒅𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒚 & 𝑨𝒖𝒅𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚 campaign stands at 97 backers and $2729, just $21 from unlocking our First Stretch Goal.
Will you be the backer who pushes us over the mark?

Just a quick note to say: WE'VE FUNDED!
We now have 22 days to go after the Stretch Goals. I currently have six different ones lined up for you, each unlocking at intervals of $250.

Cover reveal for my anthology ADVERSITY & AUDACITY: sf & f from cancer survivors
As of Thursday morning, we're $267 short of the funding goal. So here's a cover reveal to inspire you to push us over the top:

The Kickstarter to fund 𝐀𝐃𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐀𝐔𝐃𝐀𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘, an anthology of SFF stories by cancer survivors has gone live!
www.kickstarter.com/projects/sch...
Let's get funding!
On November 1st, the Kickstarter campaign for the 𝑨𝑫𝑽𝑬𝑹𝑺𝑰𝑻𝒀 𝑨𝑵𝑫 𝑨𝑼𝑫𝑨𝑪𝑰𝑻𝒀 anthology will open. The funding goal is fairly modest, but to ensure success I'm asking folks to help spread the word. Use the link below to get notified/reminded when we go live.
www.kickstarter.com/projects/sch...
I have mine.
Where's your copy?
Here's a link: www.amazon.com//dp/B0DZ1398ZM

$.01/word (more if the Kickstarter does well), 4K-10K, SF/F
Query for particulars.
Great strides happening with MM. Best wishes.
They say MM is incurable, but my wife disagrees. My "cure" as she likes to say was to get Leukemia, then get *very* lucky in finding a perfect transplant donor whose bone marrow wiped out both cancers.
But I still have GVHD now and then. 😅
If you are one of the wonderful folks who backed my last Kickstarter (and you know who you are), then be advised that I've just sent you another Update. This one has the details for acquiring the last Stretch Goal, the ebook of SLICE ON ENTROPY, book one of my Pizza in Space series.
MM or Leukemia?
Because I am traveling I failed to post about this earlier, but there's still a bit of time.
I refer of course to the monthly IASFA listing of free and discounted books!
