Auroral tesseracts

So distracted was I by not seeing my name in the "short form" category in this year's Aurora nominations... sniff... I didn't even notice that Tesseracts Ten was nominated in the "other" category. Congratulations to Edge and to all the other contributors, and I am proud as anything for whatever small contribution my story might have made.

First "When We Have Time Review"

I've just seen the first review of Triangulation: End of Time that mentions my story "When We Have Time." It's on a blog called Bill Moran's WWW world and, among the kind words he has for several other stories, he says "Matthew Johnson pulls off a near twist ending with 'When we have time,' although in a different way. The ending isn't as much a surprise as it is satisfying that the author decided to take the story where he did." ... which pretty well describes how I intended the story to work, so I'm happy.
