Nominated for an Award

Thanks everybody; it's only nominations, obviously, but still very gratifying. :)

Boneman, nominations can be made by any member of the BSFA. The six in each category with the most nominations then form the shortlist, and the winner is then voted for from that shortlist by the membership of the BSFA (again) and the attendees of Eastercon, with the winners announced at a ceremony during Eastercon.
 
Ian is far too modest to point out that another 2 short story nominations went to his own Newcon Press, as well as one nom for cover art.
for which, obviously, congrats!

Having read Ian's Gift of Joy I'm not surprised. His words were easy to read and I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

He's the up and coming star of Chrons and also my hero, this time next year he'll be walking on water!

Grovel...grovel...grovel...
 
Thanks very much everybody. :eek:

Sue, not sure when the shortlist is announced -- nominations close this coming Saturday, so hopefully not long after that.

FE, hope you enjoy it! I've just spoken to the publishers and they've agreed to post the story on the Solaris website tomorrow, free to read. I'll post a link if and when for anyone interested.

Thanks, Chopper, yes, NewCon Press have done gratifyingly well; particularly pleased to see Dave Hutchinson's The Push listed, which is an outstanding story. Rumour has it that this particular piece might be in line for another accolade or two as well, but Mum's the word. ;)

Gary, walking on water??? Huh! Have you seen the size of me? I get nervous walking on concrete, let alone water!

Well considering I'm 20 stone and six foot three, I thought you were just a mere slip of a lad.

I got on some of those speaking scales the other day and it said, 'Your height is eight foot six.' Bum bum!

Anyway back to biting the top of me bottle of Newcastle Brown:)
 
Well done Ian.

Are you having anything included for this year's Hugo nominations/ballot Ian?

Seeing that it's taking place in my hometown of Melbourne in 2010 and I've both voted for and attended the Hugos previously, I have a keen interest in such matters... :)
 
Congratulations Ian! And also thanks - you've just reminded me that I need to send in my nominations before Saturday... :)
