On May 12, 2007 my little novel vaulted into history when it won the
Nebula for Best Novella. The Nebula Award is given yearly by the
Science Fiction Writers of America. Here is the complete list of
Nebulists:
Novel: Seeker, by Jack McDevitt
(Ace, Nov05)
Novella: "Burn," by James Patrick Kelly
(podcast version)
(Tachyon Publications, Dec05)
Novelette: "Two Hearts," by Peter S. Beagle
(F&SF, Oct/Nov05)
Short Story: "Echo," by Elizabeth Hand
(F&SF, Oct/Nov05)
Script: Howl's Moving Castle, by Hayao Miyazaki, Cindy Davis Hewitt, and Donald H. Hewitt
(Studio Ghibli and Walt Disney Pictures, U.S. Premier 10 Jun05. Based on the novel by Diana Wynne Jones.)
Andre Norton Award: Magic or Madness, by Justine Larbalestier
(Penguin Razorbill, May05)
Those of you who have been following along at home know that I was
0-9 in Nebula competition. I pretty much despaired of ever winning.
Not anymore! I'm very happy about this award -- well north of elation,
just south of ecstatic.
You can listen to the podcast version in four parts:
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
Part Four

On February 2, 2007, Audible.com, the largest seller of audiobooks online, launched James Patrick Kelly's StoryPod, a for-pay podcast that features me reading my own work.
Needless to say, I'm very excited about this project. Subscribers to StoryPod 1.0 got thirteen of my stories delivered weekly. It completed its run on May 4. On May 25, StoryPod 2.0, a second thirteen story sequence launched with the publication of my newly Nebulated novella BURN. 3.0 and 4.0 are to follow. If you do the math that means that I'll be reading fifty-two of my previously-published stories over the next year. This audio collection represents almost all of the short fiction I've published to date. Most of what I've left out is the early stuff, which can be hit and miss, I'm not ashamed to say. So why are you wasting time reading this when you could have me murmuring in your ear? Click over to Audible now!
