Locus Award Finalists

Well, the Locus Award Finalists have been announced, and it looks like MonkeyBrain Books has three horses in the race (and two in the same category!).

In the Best Non-Fiction category, we find Blood & Thunder: The Life & Art of Robert E. Howard by Mark Finn, and Myths for the Modern Age: Philip José Farmer's Wold Newton Universe edited by Win Scott Eckert. And in Best Art Book we find, naturally, Cover Story: The Art of John Picacio by the man himself (who also earns a nod in the Best Artist category).

Winners will be announced in June at the Locus Awards Ceremony in Seattle, June 16th, during the Science Fiction Museum's Hall of Fame weekend. See Locus Online for details.

Comments:
Congrats! Nice to see good books recognized. Do you think that you'll come up here to Seattle, or just let them express you the award?
 
Probably not, I'm afraid. Far too booked on travel as it is. I'll just have to close my eyes and pretend really hard that I'm there.

Quite understandable -- I'm only getting out of Seattle for a family wedding in Florida in June.

Of course, you'll miss the melted trainwreck wonder of the Frank Gehry design for the Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum. It's shiny and post-modern.
 
I missed the chance to see another Gehry in Toronto last month, when we ran out of time to head across town. It's becoming a habit!
