Million Writers Award

A quick thanks to Steve Himmer over at Necessary Fiction for nominating my story "Inside Job" for a Million Writers Award. I admire Steve's selections for the magazine, and a nomination coming from him means a lot.

Looks like many, many stories are nominated, but online editors are only able to nominate three stories from what they published the year before . . . so this feels like a nice pat on the back from Steve.
