One Bright Star to Guide Them
This is the only work of mine, despite my desperate efforts at humility, I thought deserved an award. It was up for a Hugo once, but the award, by then, was no longer based on deserving. But the story is honestly one of my favorites.

As a child, he and his three friends found their way to a magical elfin world and saved it from the Winter King.
Now a grown man successful in the world, Tommy has all but forgotten his childish adventures. He hasn’t even spoken to those friends in years.
Then a silver key and a black cat show up on his front porch, and Tommy starts to remember. Just because he grew up and left Faerie behind doesn’t mean that Faerie is finished with him.
Tommy is called to be the hero of England, and for that, he wants his friends at his side. But the real world has weighed them down and they are no longer the children he remembers. And evil things from childhood stories grow older and darker and more frightening with the passing of the years.
One Bright Star to Guide Them begins where other fairy tales end
