Congrats to all the winners, but especially:
Special congratulations to Jen Williams on The Ninth Rain‘s win! It sounds like a great book and has been on my list since she was on “Tea & Jeopardy” with the Newmans. If it doesn’t make it to the U.S. at some point, I’ll just have to get the U.K. edition.
And special congratulations to N.K. Jemisin for the Karl Edward Wagner Award!
