This year’s Hugo finalists have been announced, and no, I’m not on the list, but the announcement does lift the burden on the secret I’ve been keeping. I am not one of the finalists but —— RELATIVITY WAS NOMINATED.
RELATIVITY was one of 192 nominees in the “Drama / Long Form” category, so my show was up against TENET and BIRDS OF PREY, to name only two. So my odds were not good.
But by Pluto my audio drama was nominated for a FREAKING HUGO.
Something I never, ever thought would really happen. Which proves something, but I’m still working out exactly what it is.

P.S. See all the 2021 finalists at http://www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history/2021-hugo-awards/ … they don’t publish the list of all nominees until after the awards are given. I don’t know why.
