Nebula Awards Opener
The award season has opened for Happiness is Free SF. I'm much more in tune with the awards this year, and the listing has come out on Free SF Online, my favorite SF hunting ground.

Not that voters actually read this blog, unless I name-check them and their reputation crawlers pick it up (has happened all of three times). But then again, if I really wanted these read I'd post them on Amazon or Library Thing or some other such review site. But no, I go my own way...
