The Hugo/Campbell Nomination Thread, 2007 Edition
Posted on February 4, 2007 17 Comments
I filled out my Hugo and Campbell nomination form tonight, which reminded me that it’s time to ask you all for your thoughts as to whom you would nominate for a Hugo and/or Campbell this year.

Boskone Schedule
Posted on February 4, 2007 28 Comments
I’ll be at Boskone again this year, because there’s nothing finer than Boston in February, or apparently so I’ve been led to believe, and also, the NESFA folks are fine people who have been very kind to me, so I like to return the favor and let them know I appreciate the support. While at […]

Got official word of this, so now I can share it; Old Man’s War is now going have an official UK version, which will hit stores there on the first of June. This is opposed to the current situation, in which OMW is available only as a US import. You ask, “are there going to […]

On the Subterranean Press site I read that “The Sagan Diary” is now out — w00t! — and Bill Schafer tells me that preorders are heading into the mail Monday or Tuesday. So those of you who ordered early, your wait is almost over. If you haven’t ordered a copy yet, you can pick it […]
