I've just discovered that my good friend Bill Shunn's novella "Inclination" has made the final list for the Sturgeon. "Inclination" is also on the ballot for the Hugo Award and was a finalist for the Nebulas. It's a great story and richly deserves all the honors it has accrued this year. Congrats, Bill!

Also, congratulations to Paolo Bacigalupi, Paul Melko and all the other finalists.
