2018 Awards Eligibility

Nominations are now open for the 2018 Nebula Awards, for SFWA members (including Associate members). This post lists my fiction eligible for the 2018 awards, and includes reading links. If you read and enjoy a story, please consider nominating it (I can’t nominate my own fiction, nor can the publishers).

I’ll write a follow-up post in a few weeks about the fiction I’ll be nominating myself — lots of great choices this year.

“The Icelandic Cure” Book Contest (Decode Your DNA)

To celebrate the release of my first book in print, I’m giving away a prize to a random purchaser of my novelette “The Icelandic Cure.”

Since the story is about genetic engineering, I thought a DNA-related prize would be appropriate.

The Prize

One 23andMe Health + Ancestry Kit (retail price $199)
or
$150 cash (if you’ve already gotten your 23andMe results, or don’t want them)

The Rules

Contest rules are simple:

  1. Purchase “The Icelandic Cure” on amazon.com, directly from Omnidawn, or anywhere else.
  2. Follow me on Twitter and DM me a proof of purchase (a screenshot of your email receipt, a picture of the book on your coffee table, etc.). Or, if you don’t use Twitter, email the proof of purchase to jd_moyer at looq.com. Either way is fine.
  3. To double your chances of winning, share this post with your followers on Twitter and tag me AND/OR leave a review on amazon or goodreads and send me a link to the review. So far the book only has one review on each site, so reviews are especially appreciated!

The contest will run until June 15, 2018. I’ll announce the winner and award the prize by June 22nd.

I don’t directly profit from sales of the book–I won the 2016 Omnidawn Fabulist Fiction prize which granted a flat fee prize of $1000. But I’d still like to do what I can to boost sales and promote the story.

This is a strong, thoughtful story that inspires hope for the future, curiosity about medical progress, and sheer terror at what might be done in its name.—Publishers Weekly

Thank you, and good luck!
