And the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer: David Anthony Durham
I want to give a special congratulations to David Anthony Durham! I’ve known David before he published Acacia, when he hired me to be his webmaster. He has always been kind, polite, a gentleman and a boss willing to endure whatever hardship I sent his way. If you haven’t read Acacia, why haven’t you?
Honestly. It is fantastic and its sequel, The Other Lands, publishes in a matter of weeks.
Congrats to the winners and congrats to those who were nominated! You all are in great company.
Now. Get back to reading! It’s what we do, right?
