WHEN THE HERO COMES HOME, co-edited by Gabrielle Harbowy and Ed Greenwood is a finalist for ForeWord Book of the Year – Anthology category! Congrats to Gabrielle and Ed, who were brilliant editors and completely deserve this recognition, and bravo to my fellow to contributors for your fantastic tales.

My short story, “The Once and Now-ish King” is in this anthology, but so are so many other incredible books by some fantastic science fiction and fantasy writers.

About When The Hero Comes Home

HEROES come in a thousand guises, and so do stories about them. The only survivor of a war struggles to return to a home that doesn’t exist anymore. A rebel leader loses everything she fought for and must start from scratch. A hero who has fought for her village her whole life must retire into obscurity without ever being known for her deeds. A starship returns to an Earth that is much changed, yet too much the same. A soldier is haunted by the very thing that saved his life. And King Arthur returns in Albion’s hour of need. Dark fantasy. Urban fantasy. Political intrigue. Science fiction. From the horrific to the heartwarming. Introducing 19 pulse-pounding tales, by luminaries and great new voices. Co-edited by Gabrielle Harbowy and Ed Greenwood. Featuring an introduction by Susan J. Morris

And here is a little bit of my tale, “The Once and Now-ish King”:

TRIPTYCH Nominated for TWO Lambda Literary Awards

I think it is safe to say that I am both stunned, pleased, and freaking out JUST a little bit!

Triptych has been nominated for TWO Lammies, in the Bisexual Category and the LBGT SF/F Category! Wow! THANK YOU SO MUCH to the Lambda Award Comittee for this nomination and recognizing my work.

Thank you to Dragon Moon Press, and my editor Gabrielle Harbowy, who challenged me to send her the book when I called Triptych “the unpublishable manuscript” at a room party at Ad Astra 2009.

A BIG Congrats to my fellow nominees – I am in INCREDIBLE company on these ballots!

And now, the official press release:

Finalists for the Lambda Literary Awards were announced today by the Lambda Literary Foundation (LLF) in Los Angeles. Books from major mainstream publishers and from academic presses, from both long-established and new LGBT publishers, as well as from emerging publish-on-demand technologies, make up the 119 finalists for the “Lammys.” The finalists were selected from a record number of nominations.

The awards, now in their twenty-fourth year, celebrate achievement in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) writing for books published in 2011. Winners will be announced at a Monday evening, June 4th ceremony in New York at the CUNY Graduate Center (365 Fifth Avenue) with an after-party at Slate (54 West 21st Street).

Lambda set a record in 2010 for both the number of LGBT books nominated (520) and the number of publishers participating (about 230). That record has been surpassed this year, with more than 600 titles represented from about 250 publishers.

“For three consecutive years we have broken the records for both book nominees and publishers, which is extremely heartening in a time of uncertainty for the publishing industry as a whole, and LGBT publishing, in particular,” said LLF Board of Trustees Co-Chair, David McConnell.

More than 90 booksellers, book reviewers, librarians, authors, previous Lammy winners and finalists, and other book professionals volunteered many hours of reading time, critical thinking, and invigorating shared discussion to select the finalists in 24 categories.

“The Lambda Literary Awards would not be possible without the time, energy, and intelligence of our volunteer judges who put countless hours of reading into selecting our finalists,” said Lambda Executive Director, Tony Valenzuela. “Because of their hard work, this day is a celebration of our finalists, whose outstanding books extend the fabric of our literature and enrich our community. Congratulations to these talented authors on their tremendous achievement.”

Pioneer Award honorees, the master of ceremonies, and presenters will be announced the second week of April.

Tickets for the Lambda Literary Awards ceremony and after-party go on sale today. For more information click here.

Triptych up for a CBC Bookie

Good morning!

Oh, WOW. I just learned that TRIPTYCH has been nominated for a CBC Bookie award. Thank you!

About the Bookies:

Last year, CBC Books introduced the CBC Bookie Awards, the “people’s choice” of Canadian literary awards. Readers across the country cast their votes for their favourite science fiction, mystery books, graphic novels, literary fiction, short story collections and more. It’s one year later, and the Bookies are back and bigger than ever!

The finalists were chosen by CBC’s book-loving producers at CBC Books, Canada Reads, Writers & Company, The Next Chapter and more, with consideration given to your recommendations online. The finalists represent our favourite Canadian reads (with the exception of the two new International categories) published between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2011.

This is a Reader’s Choice award, so it means a lot of people had to have told the CBC about TRIPTYCH. I cannot express how touched that makes me, and how pleased I am that people considered my novel worth nominating.

I think it’s absolutely brilliant that a small press from Alberta has a book on a major Canada-wide award poll. Please, share this webpage, and vote for your favourite books of 2011, no matter which ones they are. Show the world how much we Canadians support our authors.

You can vote once per day, every day up until March 31st at Midnight.

Cast your votes here.

For Your Consideration – Triptych by J.M. Frey

Awards nomination season is upon us. If you’ve found this page, it means that you’re considering nominating Triptych. I want to thank you very much for considering my novel. It’s humbling and amazing that there has been enough interest in the book that I have even been requested to create this blog post. Even if I don’t get a nomination, the fact that people are considering it means the world to me.

There’s something incredible and daunting as a new author about the prospects of people paying attention to you and your work. Wonderful, heart-warming, slightly terrifying in that “am I crazy to think I’m good enough for this?” way, but in the end, heartening. Because when the names start getting named and the accolades start arriving, something incredible happens – you realize that you are part of something that has touched people.

Something bigger than you, and your ideas, and gruelling hours hunched over a laptop breathing rudimentary, recalcitrant life into the worlds and creatures that you so desperately love. Somewhere, along the line, someone else found merit in what you have done – someone else fell in love with it.

I’m talking about the audience, the book bloggers and the reviewers and readership, of course, but I am also talking about the other people who have worked hard to love a book as much as the author has. I’m talking about the agents, the editors, the publishers, the cover artists, the designers and typesetters, the convention programmers and charity presidents who have tracked you down and invited you to their events, the family who lovingly scolds you if you miss your deadlines, the friends who are as excited about your successes as if they were your own.

All the people who read what you wrote and said, “Yes, this is worth falling in love with. And this is worth fighting for. And this is worth creating for.” And that? That is an incredible feeling.

So thank you.

There is a long history of “For Your Consideration”; the film business has made it ubiquitous. But this season, as you read my “Consideration” post below, I ask that you not only consider Triptych for the various writing categories for which it may be eligible, but also take the time to consider nominating my editor and guiding light, Gabrielle Harbowy, without whom my current career would not exist, Gwen Gades my publisher, and Charles Bernard, my cover artist.

And now, to the info about Triptych:

A free copy of Triptych is available to SFWA members in the ‘Nebula Consideration’ forum.

Synopsis:

You know those movies where the aliens come to Earth, and they… I dunno, they try to steal our natural resources, or create a nuclear winter so they can turn the Earth into slag, or they melt the polar ice caps and New York is under fathoms of water, or they clone us for slaves, or create terrifying bioweapons and wipe us all out and use our cities for farmland, or…all that stuff? It was nothing like that.”

IN THE NEAR FUTURE, humankind has mastered the arts of peace, tolerance, and acceptance. At least, that’s what we claim. But then THEY arrive. The last of a dying race, they request asylum on Earth. Kalp, a widower on his own, is taken in by Gwen and Basil, two Specialists with the Institute. But on Kalp’s planet, marriages came in threes. Kalp’s loneliness and desperate need for companionship might not only destroy Gwen and Basil’s relationship, but endanger every human who has ever dared to love the wrong person…

Addressing such social issues a gender performance and family dynamics, culture clashes and culture shock, prejudice, violence, and the death of children, Triptych is the modern answer to Arthur C. Clarke and Isaac Asimov, an updated social commentary in the vein of Heinlein, and a compelling, crafted fiction about what it means to fight for what you love against intolerance, prejudice, and mob mentality.

Part District 9, part Lost in Translation, part Stranger in a Strange Land, Triptych is a poignant, character-driven science fiction story about tolerance, love and loss.

Reviews

“Time travel, aliens, and the politics of sexuality combine with tragic violence in Frey’s deeply satisfying debut. Aliens seeking refuge from their broken planet find it on peaceful Earth. Gwen Pierson and Basil Grey work for the U.N., helping the aliens to integrate. When alien Kalp joins their team, they learn that Kalp’s people mate in threes, and soon the trio become the first human–alien marriage. Violent protests and assassinations threaten to unravel the fragile trust between the refugees and their human hosts, so Gwen and Basil follow the assassins–back in time to the 1980s, where Gwen’s parents are still adjusting to raising newborn Gwennie. The near paradox is appropriately disorienting, but the story is so well-grounded in the characters that it never once loses its course. Frey tells the story from varying points of view in distinct voices, imagining a world at once completely alien and utterly human.”
–Publishers Weekly, Starred Review (Also named #3 on PW’s Best Books of 2011 SF/F/Hr list)

“A stirring adventure, as well as a tender love story, from a first time author who truly embraces the limitless possibilities the future may bring. JM Frey’s Triptych satisfies any sci-fi reader looking for a different take on the first contact motif, or anyone looking to explore the possible evolution of human sexuality and love.”
–Lambda Literary, Read the full review

“I finished Triptych in one go last night, couldn’t put it down even. It’s a very impressive first novel and if Ms. Frey continues to do with science fiction what she’s done in this book she might single-handedly be credited with reviving the entire genre. Bravo! Encore, encore!”
–Todd McCaffrey, The Dragonriders of Pern series

“A brilliantly challenging piece of pure SF.”
–The Steampunk Scholar

“Just finished it. Miss it already. Write another! It was unput-downable! Congrats!!”
–Jill Golick, co-creator of Ruby Skye, P.I. and president of the Writers Guild of Canada

Publishers Weekly Best Books of 2011 in SF/F/Hr

Wow. WOW.

My friends, “Triptych” is on a list.

And not just any list. “Triptych” has been named one of Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of 2011 in Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror.

Rose Fox says:

Triptych by J.M. Frey — This book has aliens, time travel, queer polyamorous romance that feels absolutely real, loss and grief and soldiering on, languages, family… in short, it was written for me. I haven’t felt this loved and acknowledged by a book in a very long time.

You’re very welcome, Rose Fox. I wrote the book for the exact same reason.

Congratulations to my fellow listees:

Maureen McHugh’s collection After the Apocalypse
Zoo City by Lauren Beukes
Unpossible by Daryl Gregory
Two Worlds and In Between: The Best of Caitlín R. Kiernan, Vol. 1 by Caitlín R. Kiernan
Erekos by A.M. Tuomala

Rose Fox also adds:

Those paying attention will note that six out of six of these titles were put out by ambitious, daring small outfits. I hope a lot of people are paying attention. Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to Small Beer, Angry Robot, Dragon Moon, Fairwood, Subterranean, and Candlemark & Gleam for taking chances on these extraordinary books.

I could not agree more! The small press scene is amazing, and it is incredible to see the challenges they face and the way they rise to meet them, the chances they’re willing to take, and the courage they have to forge forward and drag genre into a fantastic and frighteningly new future. There are big things on the horizon, folks.

So, thank you to Rose Fox for choosing the book. Thank you to Publishers Weekly for the fine review. Thank you to Gwen Gaddes and Dragon Moon Press for taking a chance on my weird , cross-genre grief-filled little book. Thank you to Gabrielle Harbowy for championing the book the DMP, and forcing me to make the hard choices during revisions.

Thank you to Evan J. Gregory for not letting me rest on my laurels.

Thank you to the Miss Snark’s First Victim community and Authoress Anonymous for all their great feedback and advice. Thank you to my many beta readers, whose names I would never be able to list here in their entirety, but include Stephanie, Ken, Jay, Michelle, Chris, and Karen (a LOT of people read the book over the four years I was working on it). Thank you to Silverthought Press, who bought the novella that Triptych evolved out of. Thank you to Helen and Liz, my NaNoWriMo buddies the year that said novella was born. Thank you to my parents and brothers for always being supportive of my creative urges. Thank you to the friends, family, and fans who came out to the launch part at Ad Astra 2011.

And most of all my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has reviewed, supported, and bought a copy of Triptych. Thank you to Ad Astra, Polaris, CAN*CON, FanExpo, Canadian National Steampunk Expo, FutureCon, and SFContario for inviting me to pimp my work at your conventions. Thank you to the book bloggers, the teacher librarians, the students writing book reports. Thank you to the fans at conventions, the cosplayers, the Steampunk Society, the people who come to my panels and listen to my podcasts. Thank you to the people who read my blog, follow me on Twitter, and friend me on Facebook. Thank you to my tireless online cheerleaders (Leah Petersen and Liana K. being the unofficial co-captains). Thank you to Irith, for being my unofficial marketing coach, happy to accept dinner in payment for her precious gems of advice. Thank you especially fellow authors whom I count among my friends, whether I know you in person, through conventions, or only through a computer screen.

Thank you, everyone, for falling as in love with Kalp as I am. And for cheering with him. And mourning with him. And mourning for him.

Thank YOU.
