The Washington Science Fiction Association recently announced the finalists for their WSFA Small Press Award. I am honored to say that my short story, The Weight of Mountains, published last year in DreamForge, issue #2, has been named as one of the finalists. I'm pleased to be sharing a spot in such a strong field of  stories. The winner will be announced at Capclave--the WSFA (Washington, DC) convention--held virtually this year, on Oct 17th &18th.

My publisher made the graphic below from the amazing artwork the story received, and has made the story free to read as the featured story at the DreamForge website. https://bit.ly/weight-of-mountains
