Nebula Award Winners Announced

Kelly Link did well at the Nebula Awards this weekend, bringing home the award for best Novella and Novelette. "The Faery Handbag" appeared in The Faery Reel .

I went to the NYC signing of The Faery Reel (see April 3, 2006), though Link was not present. But Holly Black was!

Black is now the first ever winner of the Andre Norton Award! This new award category is for best young adult science fiction or fantasy. Black won the award for her novel, Valliant .

Joss Whedon took the script award for Serenity .

I've read both of the Kelly Link pieces, the Holly Black novel, and seen Serenity . I'm pleased with the SFWA's selections! ;-)

Joe Haldeman took the big novel prize home for Camouflauge . I'm a Haldeman fan, so I'm looking forward to reading this book.

Carol Emshwiller won best short story for a piece that appeared in the March 2005 F&SF . I was in Italy and missed this issue, so I'll be looking for it in other venues.
