2008 Aurora Finalist: "The Dancer at the Red Door"

My dark fantasy novelette "The Dancer at the Red Door" is on the final ballot for the 2008 Aurora Award in the category "Best Short Form Work in English." This story first appeared in 2007 in the DAW anthology UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS (editors Julie Czerneda and Jana Paniccia). The story inspired the artwork for the anthology's gorgeous cover (click on the thumbnail at the right to see the cover). Read the story here.

If you enjoy the story, please consider voting for it for the Aurora Award. To learn how to vote for the Aurora Award, click here. The story is eligible under "Best Short-Form Work in English."
