I’ve known for a few weeks, but they’ve now announced it. Yrs truly will receive the honor at the Nebulas in Chicago to be followed by an autographing open to the public, as I understand it.
I didn’t achieve this without the kindness and loyalty of my readers.
Many felicitations and congratulations are in order!!!!
Shibei for everyone!!!!
That’s somewhat putting the cart before the horse, isn’t it? You must produce stories many people want to read and follow.
Congratulations!
Congrats CJ,a well deserved award in my view!
Congratulations, definitely deserved
Congratulations on the justly deserved award. What is the date you will receive your award in Chicago?
Happy Birthday!

Congratulations for the well-deserved award. I’m happy because one of my very favorite storytellers gets rewarded.

congratulations! very exciting and very well deserved. you are in very good company!
This is SO GREAT! And well-deserved. And over-due. And did I mention SO GREAT?!! Congratulations!
Congratulations on a very well deserved award – from two of your Southern Hemisphere fans. We both voraciously read each new book as soon as they are published. Enjoy your trip and time with your fans. Again, huge congrats.
I got really excited when I saw the news. Congrats! Your work has long been my reference point in addition to the past winners. I’m glad they’ve made it official. It’s the first time in a long while I wished I was back in Chicago in a February. Safe travels!
See if you can get them to give you your -ess too; being a woman is just too hard not to get credit for it, especially in the non-romance fields!
Congratulations! Well deserved.
Wonderful news, I’m thrilled that you’ve been recognized and so highly regarded by your peers! Congratulations! I’m rereading Cyteen this month, a premonition, perhaps, of good things to come. I hope you enjoy your trip to Chicago and are able to stay at the Palmer House — what a treat!
Happy dance!!~
Congratulations — And about time! You are one of a very small number of authors whose books I will buy simply because your name is on the cover. I started in with the Morgaine books, and by the Faded Sun trilogy, I knew I’d hit paydirt. I’ve read some of the Foreigner books at least three times and durn if I didn’t sit down at 1 o’clock this afternoon intending to read the first chapter of Protector, wonder why the room was dark, look up and see it was almost 8 o’clock, and realize I’d read 3/4th of the book!
I have to mention every time you associate a roll of the dice with baji-naji, I think, “Alea jacta est.” and a certain hilarious Asterix and Obelix comic comes to mind . . . (Asterix and Cleopatra). . .
