A few notes about "Waiting for Jakie" and other stuff

If you would like to read my story "Waiting for Jakie," it's still available on the Apex Magazine Web site (just click on the story's link).

Speaking of Apex, this weekend is your last opportunity to vote for the Apex Story of the Year (2009). "Jakie" is one of those eligible, and it would be cool if I weren't the only one voting for it. <g> You can place your vote here.

If you like the story, and the other great stories that are on the site, and want a nice printed copy (as opposed to printing it out from the Web site), they've all been collected into an anthology called Descended From Darkness: Apex Magazine Vol. I. You can click on the link to order it.

And finally, just FYI -- nominations for the Nebula are open until February 15th.  If you're eligible to vote, you should -- there is some really great stuff in the running. At the very least, looking through the current nominations offers a list of where to go if you need something to read.
