| Various and Sundry congratulations ... |

To the winners I know of from the recent Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Awards, which were announced last weekend at the annual RT Booklovers Convention.
John Scalzi scored for Best Science Fiction novel (The Last Colony), Elizabeth Bear and Sarah Monette scored for Best Fantasy novel (A Companion to Wolves), Patrick Rothfuss scored for Best Epic Fantasy novel (The Name of the Wind), and the delightful Rachel Caine scored for Best Continuity novel (Line of Sight - Athena Force).
I was up for Best Epic Fantasy novel with The Innocent Mage -- so I was in some very good company!
Congrats also to all the other winners, even though I won't know who you are until I get my copy of the magazine.
And now I must start work ... |

Empress of Mijak (Empress in the US/UK) and The Riven Kingdom have both landed on the honour list for this year's Tiptree Award.
I didn't even know I'd been entered! Sneaky Harper Collins!
The Tiptree Award is about gender and gender roles in speculative fiction.
I am so shocked, I can hardly type.
The full list is as follows:
The winner :
The Carhullan Army by Sarah Hall
The honor list:

So, congratulations to Sarah Hall, and to my fellow honorees.
I'm sorry. I am so discombobulated, you have no idea. My thanks to Glenda Larke, who gave me the heads up! |
