Hey, science fiction award nominators: nomination season is apparently once again upon us.

And on a personal note, I was the author of three short stories published in 2017. I’m pushing the works I published, but if you’re interested in those I wrote, they were:

• “The Ant and the Grasshoppers” (published in Daily Science Fiction, November 16, 2017)
• “Godding About and Sleeping Around: Zeus’ Conversation with Tantalus” (published in the anthology TV Gods: Summer Programming!)
• “The Necessary Enemy” (published in the anthology If We Had Known)
