Fireboy and The Worldshapers are Aurora Award finalists

I’m thrilled to announce that I’m up for two Aurora Awards this year!

Fireboy is on the ballot for Best Young Adult Novel, and The Worldshapers is once again on the ballot for Best Fan Related Work.

As well, Robert J. Sawyer’s The Downloaded 2: Ghosts in the Machine, coming out in print from my Shadowpaw Press in May, is up for best novel (for the audiobook, which is already available).
