Hugo Award nominees

Here is the complete list, which I’ve taken from the Tor.com site.  There’s an outside chance (but no more than that) that I might make it along to the World Science Fiction Convention (to be held in San Antonio this year), where the Hugos are awarded. It depends on a whole lot of things falling into place over the next few months. At any rate, I look forward to seeing the outcome.
