This is Aqueduct's first appearance on a Nebula ballot. Congratulations, Kelley! We're bursting with pride that "Dangerous Space" is a finalist. And congratulations to two other Aqueductistas on the ballot-- to Ursula Le Guin, and to Gwyneth Jones (whose "Tomb Wife" will be one of the stories in The Buonarotti Quartet, which will be published in April as Conversation Pieces volume 25).
