What a great surprise it was to find this list out a couple of days early. Thanks, Kerth Committee, for being Johnny-On-The-Spot and getting the noms sorted so quickly. I've now got my reading list all ready to go.
Congratulations to all of the nominees. Really, the voting this year is going to be excrutiating, trying to pick a favorite.
And thank you, too, to everyone who so kindly offered a nomination for my story. Given the quality of stories on this list, it really is an honor.
Happy reading!
Lynn
