The final ballot for the 2001 Nebula Awards was posted this morning in the newsgroups for the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of Americas. It hasn't been released officially yet as far as I know, but I can't help shouting out that "Dance of the Yellow-Breasted Luddites" made the ballot. I still can't quite believe it. (I've made the preliminary ballot before, which is essentially the Nebula semifinals, but this is the first time I've made the final ballot.)

WOO-HOO!

The other nominees in the novelette category are Amy Sterling Casil, Andy Duncan, James Patrick Kelly, Kelly Link, and James Morrow—great company, including a couple heroes of mine.

As soon as the ballot is announced at the SFWA Web site, I'll post a link.
