The preliminary 2003 Nebula ballot was released this morning. 0wnz0red, my short story that was published on Salon and reprinted in my short story collection, made it — what's more, given that only four stories qualified in the Best Novelette category, that means that I've also made the final ballot: I'm a Nebula nominee!
