Nominations are open again for science fiction's Hugo Awards -- if you attended last year's WorldCon or have supported/bought a membership for this year's con, you get a vote. There's a lively LJ group discussing potential nominees (I often wait for the annual Locus Magazine best-of list to use as a crib for my nominations). My own eligible works are two novels: Pirate Cinema and Rapture of the Nerds (with Charles Stross), both from Tor Books. Here's Charlie Stross's list of eligible works, and here's a wider list instigated by John Scalzi. Feel free to leave your favorites (or own eligible works) in the comments here.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    I think my own Decrypting Rita qualifies, since the graphic novel award is still around. It’s a slickly-rendered story about what happens when the fastest woman ever built is dragged outside of reality by her ex; I published the first volume in late 2012.

    You can read it on the web, or grab a free pdf of the first volume right here.
