Magazines Canada has a PDF sample of the non-fiction content of issue 16 of Neo-opsis. http://secure.magazinescanada.ca/magazines/ex111.pdf (This is one of the 2009 issues.) A fair number of SF Canada members are mentioned, or have their photo, in this issue. Karl Johanson Labels: Aurora Award, Neo-Opsis Monday, January 04, 2010

In the department of "isn't it amazing how things get around on the web", google alert recently led me to a site called Science Fiction Awards Watch that has got the nomination for Part 2: Righteous Anger of the ORU Saga's 2007 Aurora entanglement listed. It was short listed. Always a bridesmaid and never a bride. Keeps me humble. Labels: Aurora Award, Righteous Anger Monday, September 10, 2007
Much thanks to those responsible for Righteous Anger making it to the finalists for the novel category, in English, for the 2007 Aurora Awards, and to my webmaster David Lott for bringing this page to my attention and making sure the entry had links.

Thrilled, this morning, to learning Righteous Anger is a finalist for the Aurora Award--all the more so because I've been so busy at the day job I never even knew the process was taking place! A thousand thank yous, on behalf of everyone engaged with the Okal Rel Universe, to the wonderful person or people who made this happen. Labels: Aurora Award, Righteous Anger |
