| Heinlein Award |
[Jul. 9th, 2007|12:05 am] |
Color me amazed/delighted/gobsmacked/humbled.
Wow. Back when I was an SF-struck 9th grader reading every book I could get my hands on...when I wrote a term paper on science fiction in 11th grade for a teacher who thought it was all junk and I could not possibly have read all those books, I never dreamed that someday I'd be a published writer of same and win any award at all, let alone one named for the writer who first sucked me into the genre. AND on the centennial of his birth.
How cool is that!
Unfortunately, LifeStuff (including deadlines) prevented my attending the Heinlein Centennial (something I'd wanted to do early on) but I think Mr. Heinlein would understand finishing work on deadline and caring for family crises (and maybe even catching the drip from roof leaks) as important. |

Holy cr@p! Congratulations!!!
You so deserve this award!
I can't think of anyone who deserves it more, really. Your writing is so tight and detailed and FULL that I can't get enough of it.
My favorite living SF author now has a tie to my favorite non-living author! Wow!
Congratulations!
Congratulations. Well deserved.
adding to the congrats-storm....I know the Vatta series is at the top of my reading list!
Whooohoooo!!!!! Congrats and yes RAH would understand, especially if it involved cats.
No doubt there's a thread on SFF.net to chime in on too, when I can catch up there. But in the meantime, let me offer my congratulations here, as well as wish you good luck on the story deadline!
This is wonderful news. Well deserved. Congratulations.
Sean
