I’m delighted to announce that “Dangerous Space” is a finalist for the Nebula Award.
My thanks to the SFWA members who have supported the story — the approval of other writers is very special to me, and I appreciate it more than I can say. This is my third time as a Nebula finalist, and the thrill never goes away. Congratulations to all the finalists. I’m honored to be in your company.
And my special thanks to Aqueduct Press for publishing the collection and giving me the chance to tell another tale of Mars, of all my characters the one who most compels me.
The Nebula Awards will be presented the weekend of April 24-26 in Los Angeles. I hope that Nicola and I will be there — it would be lovely to meet new people and reconnect with old friends. Speculative fiction writers know how to party (grin).
I invite you to read “Dangerous Space” (in PDF format), and let me know what you think. And thanks to all of you who have let me know in the past that you enjoy my stories: this moment in the spotlight is lovely, but nothing compares to the immense pleasure I get knowing that I’ve told you a story that has touched you.
Woo Hoo!! Congratulations on a well deserved recognition.
And I think I’ve already mentioned that I think DS is a deeply moving, brilliantly written story.
Yay for you!! Heard about the news on Nicola’s blog and just HAD to congratulate you. I’m so excited for you.
*am off to read Dangerous Space, PDF style*
Awesome! You are in some pretty exalted company(and they’re in yours). I hope you win, but even if you don’t, you climbed the mountain.
I’ve noticed you put a few of your stories up in PDF form. Have you considered having them on Escape Pod or Starship Sofa podcasts? For those not familar, they are two podcasts that feature readings of SF short stories.
Now that I have a long commute I’ve become a big fan of using that time to listen to some stories. It’s already helped introduce me to several new authors.
Congratulations, Kelley! That is so cool!

Wanted to add my voice to the chorus: Congratulations, Kelley!
I’m excited for you and of course have my fingers crossed. It’s such a great story.
Congratulations, Kelley. I enjoyed the whole collection tremendously.
Thank you all very much indeed. I really am delighted about it, and I appreciate everyone taking the time to stop by with these good wishes. It is one of the things that is so lovely about the interweb — being able to share good news.
John, I’m not familiar with Escape Pod or Starship Sofa, but will certainly check it out. Thanks for the lead.
Congratulations, Kelley!
