That awkward moment when you realize, shit, I have to put my work out there and say yes, I can be considered for things. I'm really not good at this self-promotion stuff.

For anyone who might swing by this way, I'm eligible for the Hugo and Nebula in the novel category for:

1. My debut sci-fi novel Mind Storm, from Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin's Press.

2. And this is the first year I'm eligible for the John W. Campbell Award.
