Rich Horton will be reprinting The Sighted Watchmaker in The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2012. Yay!
Other business-related news: I am reading stories from 2011 so I can make nominations for the Hugo and Nebula awards. If you’re a writer who’s published something this year that you’d like me to consider, please post a link in the comments or just email me the story. I’ll try to get to everything (one story per person, please).
And if you’re a writer who’s also reading/nominating, I hope you’ll consider The Sighted Watchmaker, which was published in Lightspeed in December 2011. Thank you!
Oh my god, my husband gave me an inflatable shark blimp! Complete with remote control. It’s lurking around downstairs and flying around the house.
Raar. This completely rules!
The Sighted Watchmaker is live at Lightspeed. I’m delighted to be back in the magazine–it’s one of my favorites. Lightspeed published my Nebula-nominated story last year.
Two fun facts about The Sighted Watchmaker:
1) The editor, John Joseph Adams, actually rejected this story the first time I sent it. I sent it elsewhere. A year later, he emailed me and said, “I was thinking about that Sighted Watchmaker story. Is it still available?” I guess it left an impression. 
2) I wrote this in one sitting. It took 3 hours. What you read at Lightspeed is basically what I put on the page. This is very rare, but awesome when it happens. The unofficial term for this event is “a gift from the Muse.” Thanks, Muse!
