LKH no longer nominated?
Back in June, nanale had warned us about the Quill Awards, which had LKH nominated 3 times, if I recall, in the sci-fi/fantasy/horror category at the time.
Now? The nominees are as follows:
The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower - Stephen King
Going Postal - Terry Pratchett (VOTE FOR HIM! *ahem* No bias here, really....)
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke
Shadow of the Giant - Orson Scott Card
The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror - Christopher Moore
Oooookay. So what am I missing here? Did the committee come to its senses and realize that she didn't deserve to be nominated ONCE, let alone three times? Was there a whittling-down process? (Because Anne Bishop and Tad Williams are no longer listed either.)
And here I was, all ready to give an impassioned "vote her off the literary island!" speech, and now it looks like I don't have to. Oh bother.
