AKICIF: John W. Campbell Award

Elsewhere on the Intertubes, it has been asserted that Sharon Lee and Steve Miller were once contenders for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Author, say about 1988/1989. Myself, I doubt this; certainly if we we were, no one ever told us. In fact, I seem to remember being told that we (and other co-authors) were not eligible because the award was not for the "best new writers," but the "best new writer."* I grant that this may have been another discussion about another award. I've pretty much over the years grown resigned to the idea that Lee and Miller are not writing the Stuff of Awards.

Anyhow, for Amusement Value, can anyone substantiate the notion that Lee and Miller ever appeared on a Campbell finalists list?

In any case, we're home, having taking the Long Way, through Vermont and avoiding Boston. It was a pretty drive. The cats have been placated, mostly, and we're about to go collapse.

It is currently 66F/19C at the Cat Farm and Confusion Factory, and that is a Very Good Thing, Indeed.

'night.

*Now, does this mean that Sharon Lee is, with the publication of Carousel Tides in November, a Campbell contender?
