This is such a fantastic list with some fab people on it (Lightspeed's Women Destroy SF! Jen Williams! Spectral's Book of Horror! Mark West! Holdfast! Lightspeed!) so huuuuuge congrats to all the nominees....
The absolute highlight though is in Best Anthology where Urban Mythic 2 scored a nomination! To say Jan and I are insanely pleased would be an understatement of epic proportions. We are INSANELY pleased!
And! Wicked Women copped a sorta mention too as the awesome Gaie Sebold got a Best Short Story nom for 'A Change of Heart' which appeared in it. Babylon Steel stories for the win!
Did I mention Jan and I are insanely pleased? There is happy dancing.
