Aurora Award nominees announced

The nominees for the 2009 Aurora Awards were announced this morning. My short-story collection Identity Theft and Other Stories is one of five finalists for the Best Long Form Work in English Award this year.

In the Long Form category, very unusually, three of the five nominees are short-story collections. Also, three of the five nominees are my writing students: Douglas Smith, Hayden Trenholm, and Edward Willett. Go team!

This is my 37th Aurora Award nomination to date; I've previously won the award 10 times -- that makes me both the biggest winner and the biggest loser on the English side of the awards. :)

The full list of nominees is here.
