I was thinking to wait the final results to post something on the Lambda Literary Awards, but I can't help to let you now that, Steve Berman, founder and owner of Lethe Press, to celebrate the nomination received by Wilde Stories 2008 as Best LGBT Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror, is offering e-book editions for only $3 for the next 2 weeks. So grab this oppurtunity, the ebook is available at All Romance Ebooks:

And since I post about it, congrats to all my friends (or acquaintance) who received a nominations:

é una antologia. Questo è il blurb: As such literary movements as interstitial and slipstream gain momentum, more and more authors interweave their traditional stories with gay themes as coming out, homophobia, and self-as-other, with a bit of the strange and weird. Named after one of the founding fathers of gay speculative fiction, Wilde Stories is a new annual anthology that offers readers the best of such stories from the prior year. Editor Steve Berman, a finalist for both the Lambda Literary and Andre Norton Awards, has collected an engaging selection of the fantastical, the strange, and the scary from such notable authors as Victor J. Banis, Hal Duncan and Lee Thomas.

Col tempo sempre più autori inseriscono tematiche omosessuali nelle loro storie, parlando di coming out, omofobia e autocoscienza mescolando il tutto con un po' di cose strane. Questo libro, il cui titolo è dedicato ad uno dei padri fondatori della letteratura omosessuale "paranormale", Wilde Stories è una nuova antologia annuale che offre ai lettori il meglio di tali storie. Steve Berman, l'editore, finalista sia del Lambda Literary che dell'Andre Norton Awards, ha raccolto una avvincente selezione di storie fantastiche, strane e spaventose di autori importanti come Victor J. Banis, Hal Duncan e Lee Thomas.

I haven't read some of those, but I did love Turnskin, and I hope that wins!

I also really wish the Lambda foundation would have separate categories for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror, instead of rolling them together into one.

Re: Lambdas
Maybe it depends on the number of submission. I notice in the past that horror was a separate category, and for example, romance at the beginning was both lesbian than gay, and now they are two separate categories. Elisa

Re: Lambdas
Okay, that would explain it. I hadn't thought of this reason and found the situation totally inexplicable! I hope that it will separate out in the future to three categories -- or even six categories if they have a place for Gay and Lesbian.

Thanks for the Rah-rah, Elisa!!
Hey, Babe! --Thanks for doing your cheerleader bit for the cause (the Lammy cause). You look mighty good with pom-poms! --Always nice to get the recognition ("I want to thank my mother, my father, God, my agent, my one-nighter from last night, and, of course, sexy Elisa in wondrous Italy!"). --Actually, though, I was here last year, wasn't I? So, I'm not holding my breath; might go blue. --William (Maltese, since the only way I've figured out to post is via the anonymous method).

Oh I don't know how good I will in miniskirt and pon pon, but for I will. I really hope you win (and then you are with Victor, Jardonn and Jim in there, and all of them are so kind with me), and then it is an achievement to be there two years in a row, and I bet it will be not the last! Elisa
