We now have a winner in the Reader Poll to pick a story for The Best of BCS Year Four anthology!

The winner is “Held Close in Syllables of Light,” by Rose Lemberg! From BCS #80. A great story of a young lady, burdened by family expectations, traveling to a foreign land to secure a trade concession for her house.

Congratulations! Thanks also to all our readers who voted, and to the authors of all the other stories, especially the other finalists.

Look for the Best of BCS Year Four ebook anthology coming in early fall, with the gorgeous cover at right based on Zofia Tuska’s artwork “Remember.”
