I'm trying bridge a cashflow problem that is posing an unsurmountable obstacle for me on my own. I am currently freelancing full time, but due to the vagaries of publishing, there is a two month gap between non-negotiable bills and payments being due. So I am looking to acquire clients, great and small, as soon as possible.
Please go to

The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) have announced the winners for this year’s Nebula Awards, the Ray Bradbury Award, and the Andre Norton Award. Needless to say, Tor.com is jazzed to see Charlie Jane Anders’s outstanding story “Six Months, Three Days” nominated in the Novelette category.
And we’re over the moon to see Tor Books author and Tor.com columnist Jo Walton take home the Nebula Award for Best Novel for her remarkable novel Among Others!
Congratulations to all the honorees and winners!
[The honorees and winners below]
Light's daughters ride to earth
in photon chariots,
stop in a sushi bar
at 12 Lavaca Street,
flirt with red-faced waiters,
as they incinerate
roll after tuna roll,
and vaporize highballs,
discuss the sexual
prowess of Titan's sons
in disparaging terms,
then leave melted globs
of gold and rare metals
as payment and tip both,
on their way to burn down
a few dance clubs and sear
their images across
hapless human eyes, minds,
before riding off Earth
to play asteroid billiards,
taunting UFOlogists,
and confusing NORAD.
