I am so honored to announce that “Blessed Are the Hungry” (which originally appeared in Issue 62 of Apex Magazine) has been translated into Chinese by my friend Hu Shao Yan. It appears on this month’s edition of Science Fiction World! This magazine has a circulation of about 130K subscribers and a readership of close to one million people, I still can’t believe they accepted and published our work. I have been told that this is the first time they have published a story by a Filipino author.
For those who still have space on their Hugo ballot this year, please consider my little tale of a Filipino family on a Generation Ship for the Short Story category.
