4/ I've wanted to write science fiction novels since I stumbled across Heinlein's The Red Planet in 2nd grade. ...but now, knowing that this award existed, I had an infinitely higher goal: to write a novel good enough to be nominated.

5/ Last year The Powers of the Earth WAS nominated, and I was beside myself. Goal achieved.

6/ A few days ago I learned that it had gone to the next step: out of the 15 or 20 or whatever nominated novels, The Powers of the Earth has been selected as one of the five finalists.

7/ I am bouncing off the walls with excitement right now. The formal press release is coming soon, and I'll post a link when it's released. I won't say who the other nominees are until the PR is out. ...but it's an incredibly talented group.

9/ Now is your last chance to buy a trade paperback with the original "no blurb bragging about the nomination" cover to prove that you were a fan before I sold out. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JPPMS6/ref=series_dp_rw_ca_1 … (or pre-order the sequel ! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B5283G2 )

Replying to @MorlockP
Congratulations! Were there an active betting market, I'd totally be long on a morlock first place outcome.
