Amazing Things

[rj_anderson]

There has been a lot of bad news in my life lately (not for me personally, but for people I love and am close to -- serious health problems, impending operations, the sudden death of my uncle), so it was lovely to open my e-mail the other day and find out some really fantastic news for a change:

Ultraviolet has been nominated for the 2012 Andre

Sorry to hear about the bad news.

Congratulations on your nomination! I'm really happy for you. :)
I feel odd now that I never read Ultraviolet, while I read all the others you have published (the fairy stories, much loved).

[rj_anderson]

Oh, don't feel odd! It often takes me a while to get around to reading All The Things, even by authors I really like. But if you do read it I hope you will enjoy it, even though it is quite different from the faery books...

And thank you!

This news made me so happy when I saw it, Rebecca. Hooray!!!

Thank you so much, Shveta!

Sorry to be coming so late to the comment party, but I'm not checking LJ as frequently anymore. Congratulations on a well-deserved nomination. I would love to hear what you think of the other nominees, as my middle daughter especially loves Science Fiction and has trouble finding books that really suit her. She loved Ultraviolet, and Timothy Zahn is all-time favorite author. She appreciates the world-view contained in yours and Zahn's books, and it's hard to find in Science Fiction. I know you'll let us know how the awards go.

Thanks! I'm happy to hear your daughter loved ULTRAVIOLET.

I've read all but one of the other Norton nominees now, and enjoyed all of them. I don't expect the last book is likely to be an exception. It's a good ballot.
