I was shocked, surprized, and delighted to get this email last night:
On behalf of the podcasting community, we wish to congratulate you for your recent nomination for a Parsec Award for the following podcast(s):
Quarter Share – Best Speculative Fiction Story (Novel Form)
On the one hand, I think every Podiobook in the Science-Fiction category was nominated. On the other hand, feels good to be nominated in the same category as all those excellent books!
I have to submit a sample audio file for judging — not to exceed 10 minutes or 3 clips. I’ve put together three — I like the beginning and ending but the middle I’m having trouble deciding. So, I’m gonna ask you what you think. I reserve the right to ignore you all, but I’d be grateful if you’d leave a comment below on whether you think a, b, or c represents the book the best.
B. Ishmael meets the coffee urns
C. Ishmael sees the rest of the ship
UPDATE: Well, we didn’t make the top 5. Such is fame. Better luck next year, maybe.
