30 novels in 31 bindings. Quite a year. Pyr itself turned 5 and hit our 100th title. I've posted a round up of various Best of 2010 posts over at the Pyr blog. Ian McDonald's The Dervish House and Clay and Susan Griffith's The Greyfriar (Vampire Empire Book 1) seem to be making the most Best of lists, but Pyr novels are appearing all over!
Turning to short fiction, I edited 33 individual stories, detailed below. The Hugo Awards defines a short story as anything less than 7,500 words, a novelette as being between 7,500 words and 17,500 words, and a novella as being from 17,500 words to 40,000.
Pyr released one novelette in 2010, James Enge's "Travellers' Rest," which was made available as a free ebook in both ePub and Kindle formats. Cover art by Chuck Lukacs. 8,471 words.
Beyond Pyr, I edited two short fiction anthologies (making this a year in which I am personally eligible in both the long form and short form categories, in case you are wondering). Each contained very many deserving short stories, novelettes, and novellas. They were:

One hell of an impressive list, Lou. I've enjoyed reading several of these. Well done, and I'm looking forward to an equally impressive lineup for 2011 and beyond.
Thank you very much. Excited for more of 2011 to be out there, even as I polish off 2012.
What a list!!
A great year for You and Pyr.
I read seven of the listed books. And five more sit on my shelf unread.
Looking forward to your 2011 list ...
Thanks.
But five unread you say?
Wow. 30 titles.
I was thinking last week, "I should just buy a copy of everything Pyr publishes, given my hit rate has been 100% lately." (= 3 Morlock books, and the 2 Anthologies)
Of course, you are publishing faster than I can hope to read.
Hi Marc,
I can't promise to slow it down, but I won't speed it up. Any more might be faster than *I* can read!
And thanks!
