Nobody asked me for an acceptance speech, but I have one anyway, because what the heck; because I respect the thankless work the @theignyteawards.bsky.social does each year; because I'm glad for good trouble; because I'm honoured to be honoured.

Lost Ark Dreaming was one of just two nominees I sent in for the Hugo Awards in the Best Novella category. I gave it a strong recommendation in my review in 2024:

Had a few hours to process this, and wanted to say thank you to the jurors and voters of the @theignyteawards.bsky.social for seeing - and honouring - this little anarchist-inflected SF novel, from the list of a fiercely progressive & independent Indian publisher ( @westlandbooks.bsky.social).
