2020 Round-Up (Wish I’d been more productive!)

If you’re considering works for the Nebula or Hugo Award, my only eligible story from 2020 is my novelette, BEYOND THE TATTERED VEIL OF STARS, which appeared in the Mar/Apr. issue of Asimov’s. It’s been one of the best-reviewed stories I’ve written. The story was also translated into Italian and recently published as an e-book by Delos Digital.

Otherwise, I sure wish I’d been more productive during the pandemic. 2020 was mostly a year of reprints for me, selling a total of 9 reprints. “IN THE STILLNESS BETWEEN THE STARS” appeared in The Best Science Fiction of the Year, Vol. 5, edited by Neil Clarke and has also been acquired for Forever Magazine. The story was translated into Czech and republished in XB-1; translated into Chinese and republished in SF World; and, finally, translated into Italian and republished as an e-publication by Delos Digital out of Milan.

I also sold reprints of my short story UNREELED to XB-1 in the Czech Republic and my novelettes MISSIONARIES and THE SCENT OF THEIR ARRIVAL as e-publications to Delos Digital in Italy.

I’m hoping for a much more productive 2021.
