Ugh, I hate this but I guess I may as well announce what I've edited this year -although I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of being nominated for Best Editor this year.

I just ordered the Year's best fantasy and horror, 2008 :) It hasn't arrived yet, but it looked wonderful.

'Prisoners of the Action' dropped my jaw when I read it. A lovely thing.

It's one of my favorites but hasn't picked up any (I don't think) recs for the Nebula. At least not in 2008, although it's still eligible through APril.

Sorry, that was me, Ellen.
