My collaborator (Sharman Horwood) and I were delighted to note that our time travel/alternate history Sf novel, QUEEN OF IRON YEARS is on the official ballot. Should this book win it will, so far as I know, be the first GLBT-themed fiction to have won a Vogel, (or indeed to have won any of that award’s predessors.) I’ll be attending Au Contraire 2 in mid-July when the SJV results are ann0unced and we’re hoping Sharman will be able to make it there as well. Looking forward to seeing everyone then.
