It's also a finalist for the Locus and Nebula Awards! This has never happened to me before, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate all you fine nerds and friends for voting for this little book about robots who just want to make noodles. I spent many late nights on Mastodon while writing, and got live feedback on some of my ideas from many of you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Same thing happened with Venomous Lumpsucker.
