This has been an amazing year for my story “Nahiku West” which has been included in a few best-of-the-year anthologies and was the second place finisher for the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award. But for his 30th iteration of the annual collection The Year’s Best Science Fiction, Gardner Dozois chose my other science fiction story published in 2012 — “Nightside On Callisto” — which originally appeared in Lightspeed Magazine.

Gardner has been successfully presenting his collection for a full three decades, and the 30th brings together many stories by diverse authors. If you’re behind on your short fiction, here’s a chance to make it all up at once! Stories included in this volume are:
