  • The Drink Tank Are Here, Penney-Style Loc, Which I Haven’T Done in Many Swer That Question
    That there is a Michele Wilson cover! I love her stuff, and I’m so glad that she gets so much my way. Mo Starkey was kind enough to take the image and set it up as a cover for me! She’s an absolute star, no? That pun was, almost, completely intended. So, Mo Starkey is Art Director for this one! OK, this issue has 2 Steve Stiles images! Gotta love that1 When’s he getting his Hugo? That’s one right there! A man who has saved kitties from Fires, has donated ferrets to orphanages, who has tamed the Nubian Lion on the Plains of North America! The man deserves a Rocket to use as the paperweight for his pile of commendations for Meritous Service! Now, there’s a lot to talk about. Turns out I’ll be working the Napa Valley Film Festival in November. Love me some film festival! I’m going to be running the Wine Tent in Calistoga! Can’t go wrong with that! There’s my look at ConQuesT, a couple of LoCs, and there’s art! That’s this issue. Not a big one, but one I’m looking forward to putting out because I’ve been falling off schedule more and more often. I gotta get back into the rhythm. We’re doing the Hugo Award for Best Novel issue for Westercon, and there’s gonna be at least two more issues between now and then! Not to mention my issue of Claims Department about the music of The Smiths. I love the Smiths, and it took The Smiths Project by Janice Whaley to make me realise exactly how much.

Swartz The Hugo Awards originally were called the Science Fiction Achievement Awards and first were given out at Philcon II, the World Science Fiction Con- vention of 1953, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The second oldest--and most prestigious--awards in the field, they quickly were nicknamed the Hugos (officially since 1958), in honor of Hugo Gernsback (1884 -1967), founder of Amazing Stories, the first professional magazine devoted entirely to science fiction. No awards were given in 1954 at the World Science Fiction Con in San Francisco, but they were restored in 1955 at the Clevention (in Cleveland) and included six categories: novel, novelette, short story, magazine, artist, and fan magazine.

  • PRESS RELEASE Breaking News from SFWRITER.COM Robert J
    PRESS RELEASE Breaking News from SFWRITER.COM Robert J. Sawyer Wins World’s Top Juried Prize for Science Fiction Robert J. Sawyer, 46, of Toronto, has just won the world’s top juried award for science fiction: the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Novel of the Year. The award, which Sawyer won for his latest novel, Mindscan, was presented Friday night, July 7, 2006, at a banquet at the J. Wayne and Elsie M. Gunn Center for the Study of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas. With this award win—his 38th for his fiction—Robert J. Sawyer now joins the most- select club in all of science fiction: the seven writers who have won all three of the field’s top awards for best novel of the year: • the World Science Fiction Society’s Hugo Award, which he won in 2003 for his novel Hominids; • the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America’s Nebula Award, which he won in 1996 for his novel The Terminal Experiment; • and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award, which he has now won for Mindscan. (The full list of winners of all three awards: David Brin, Arthur C. Clarke, Joe Haldeman, Frederik Pohl, Kim Stanley Robinson, Robert J. Sawyer, and Connie Willis; Sawyer is the only Canadian to win all three.) The John W. Campbell Memorial Award was created to honor the late editor of Astounding Science Fiction magazine (renamed Analog Science Fiction and Fact in 1960). Campbell, who edited the magazine from 1937 until his death in 1971, is often called the father of modern science fiction.
