We’ll get back to the fabulous Taco Quiz<\/a> in a sec. But first I wanted to update you on my winner status.<\/p>\n

Recently my writing was up for two different audience choice awards. "Hometown Horrible<\/a>" was nominated for best Pseudopod story of 2009, and "Beneath the Red City"<\/a> was eligible for best story for issue 2 of Innsmouth Free Press.<\/p>\n

The voting for both these contests is at a close. I did not win either.<\/p>\n
