Let’s start the new year with some good news! Congratulations to the Filipino authors whose stories were included in the 2012 Mariner Awards of Bewildering Stories. Dean Alfar (Packing for the Moon), Victor Ocampo (Synchronicity) and Mia Tijam (Talking to Juanito) all produced stories “that the Review Board and Managing Editor have rated “very good” or “excellent” in 2012. They have earned Bewildering Stories’ most signal honor.”
