News flash
It should be public knowledge by now, so I've set up a cron
job to post this announcement for me (because I'm still away).
Assuming nothing's changed (I still can't quite believe it!), I
guess the best thing to do is to quote the email I got two weeks ago:
Double Congratulations!
"Singularity Sky" has been chosen by the voters for
inclusion on the 2004
Hugo Award final ballot for the best novel of 2003 which will
be voted by
the members of Noreascon 4. Further information about
Noreascon 4 can be
found at www.noreascon.org.
"Nightfall" has been chosen by the voters for inclusion on
the 2004 Hugo
Award final ballot for the best novelette of 2003 which will
be voted by the
members of Noreascon 4.
Wow. Not one, but two Hugo nominations. Thank you
everybody who voted for my work: I'm boggled! And very happy.
Thank you again.

Oh, we do like to be beside the sea-side ...
I'm driving off to Blackpool tomorrow for Concourse,
the British national Eastercon. I suspect broadband will be
thin on the ground there, so it is possible that there will be
little or no blogging before this time next week.
Gratuitous news flash of the day: I've signed the papers for
Rogue Farm, a short
(30-minute) CGI movie to be filmed this summer, based
on my short story of the same name (which you can find in the
anthology Live
Without A Net and elsewhere). It's being produced with a
grant from Scottish TV's New
Found Land scheme, and if all goes well it should have its
premiere some time in late summer/autumn.
And I've got another really big piece of
writing-related news coming,
which I can't talk about yet. More on this later.
