Below are my nominations for the 2011 Hugo Awards. Because I've been fairly distracted as of late, I did not spend quite as much time reading all the short fiction I should have and didn't put enough thought into some of the other categories with few (or no) nominations. That said, I do feel strongly about each of the nominations I did make.
Remember, if you wish to nominate, you must have at least purchased a supporting membership to Renovation by January 31. Nominations are due by March 26. If you don't have a supporting membership, it may be worth it to still purchase one. You'll be able to vote on the final ballot, nominate in 2012, and if there is a Hugo Voter's Packet again this year, you'll be able to get electronic copies of most of the final nominees - including the novels. Totally worth it, if you have the money to spare.
Regardless, here is my ballot.

Well, shucks.
*blush*
I'm a first-time voter this year, and there's one question I haven't been able to get resolved: if I don't nominate, can I still vote on the final lists?
I just haven't read enough of the recent books to be comfortable making nominations.
Thanks :-)
Wow, thank you so much!
(and I agree, Chill was such a great book. I'm in love with the Jacob's Ladder trilogy. It does so many things right).
