Calling all Canadians citizens at home and abroad and permanent residents of Canada: our national science fiction awards, the Aurora Awards, are now open for nominations. This year, my short story "Mecha-Jesus" is eligible to be nominated in the category of Best Short Fiction - English.
"Mecha-Jesus" was published in the anthology Wrestling With Gods: Tesseracts Eighteen, edited by Liana Kerzner and Jerome Stueart, from EDGE Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing. Since the Kindle e-book edition was released in November 2014, Wrestling With Gods and all its stories are eligible for the 2015 Aurora Awards.
During the nomination period, "Mecha-Jesus" will be available free on my website at http://www.derwinmaksf.com/Mecha-Jesus.html

stories and individuals, visit:
The Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Association (CSFFA) charges an annual $10 membership fee, so both new and returning
members will be asked to pay $10 by Paypal. Renewing members can access
the membership portal and make nominations after paying the membership
fee. New members will receive a Society number by email and can go back
to the Aurora Awards website and submit nominations. Nominees do not
get any sort of monetary gain from the fees. The CSFFA is a non-profit
organization, and its small budget, raised by the membership and voting
fees, goes to administer the awards program and produce the trophies.
$10 is a low price to promote national pride in our science fiction and
to give a small reward to your favourite authors, artists, and fan
organizers.
The online nomination deadline is April 25, 2015, 11:59:59 PM EDT.
