Award Winner

Congratulations to Taos Toolbox veteran Fran Wilde, whose Updraft won the Andre Norton Award for young adult fiction, and also the Compton Crook award for best science fiction, horror, or fantasy novel (no age mentioned).

Updraft was workshopped at Toolbox, and despite being perhaps the most altitude-impaired student ever at Toolbox, Fran seems to have paid some attention.

Congratulations also to Toolbox grad Lawrence Schoen, who was nominated for the Nebula for Barsk, but ended up coming home with the Kevin O’Donnell, Jr. Award for Service to SFWA.

Applause, please, applause.
