Galla-Deia & Pliip guard my Nebula finalist certificate (art by me of my Questrison saga characters). That’s Dad on the lower left. Mom’s pic is to his left. I think they’d have liked THE INN AT THE AMETHYST LANTERN.
This positioning and frame are temporary until I find better placement.
Thank you @SFWA & all who nominated my book! #Nebulas2024
At #Nebulas2024, I took careful notes at a good panel on book publicity: https://stevendbrewer.com/planning-your-own-publicity-campaign/ #amwriting #books
Planning Your Own Publicity Campaign - Steven D. BREWER

At the 2024 Nebulas convention, I attended of the very last sessions, Planning Your Own Publicity Campaign presented by KC Grifant, Jaye Viner, Eva Elasigue, and Robyn Dabney. It was a great presentation but, as I said in my earlier post about the Nebulas, I didn't feel like there was a whole lot here that

Jendia Gammon on Instagram: "Thirty years ago, I was a @barbie spokesmodel during my university days. It was a brief, but good paying gig. I then wanted to model part-time, but Ford modeling agency said I was too short. I continued my science education and got a degree in ecology and evolutionary biology. I worked in labs and then eventually moved to clinical research. All that time, I was writing (since childhood). I’m now a science writer, Nebula award @sfwa_inc & @bsfa_vector award finalist author, and still an artist. Life is interesting. I think that was actually my first contract. In this case, with @mattel. Fun story: the third year they called to see if I was available to model, I was out flyfishing (single hook, artificial) in the Smoky Mountains @greatsmokynps and didn’t get back to them fast enough, so I missed out that time. I guess I was in Angler Barbie mode. Alas! Thus ended my Barbie modeling days. Seems very on brand, now that I think about it. Out in nature and missing an important call. Those were the days! #modeling #science #writing #flyfishing #barbie #genx"

Nebulas 2024 - Steven D. BREWER

For the second year, I proposed myself as a participant for the Nebulas Science Fiction/Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA) convention, but wasn't selected. I was on the fence about attending and agonized for several days but, at the last minute, decided to register for the online track. I'm glad I did. In point of fact, I

This will forever be cool, and I am so honored to be a finalist for the Andre Norton Nebula Award for THE INN AT THE AMETHYST LANTERN (under my alt name J. Dianne Dotson). Thank you to my publisher Android Press for believing in this book. Thank you @SFWA for the honor, and to everyone who voted for this novel.
