Hugos, Nominations for

I've decided on my nominations for the 2015 Hugos. I admit to doing a bit of tactical voting. Basically, it takes about 100 votes to get on the novel short-list, so any self-pub or small-press book doesn't have a shot, and is not getting a nomination from me. I'm also steering away from books that are later books in a series. Also, if the category isn't listed here, I'm not voting it. Herewith, my vote:

Novels

Hurricane Fever - Tobias Buckell
Defenders - Will McIntosh
The Burning Dark - Adam Christopher
A Darkling Sea - James Cambias
Trial By Fire - Charles E. Gannon (the only series, but it's only book #2)
