Man, that is some stellar company you are keeping! Congrats on being a finalist, will wait with crossed fingers for the results.
Just wondering, what is the reason for separate categories for hardcover and paperback cover illustrations?
Thanks, Carl! 'Appreciated! :)
Steve -- I don't know the answer to that but my guess is that ASFA felt that because some books are released as first-edition hardcovers and others as first-edition trades, it allows more art to be recognized than if both were combined into one category. There's a lot of great sf/f cover art every year, and even with two categories, it's still tough to whittle down to a handful.
Well cool (Re: life time achievement award), but I'm not dead yet!
Congrats, Charles. :)
Look at this way -- better to be appreciated while you're alive and still in your prime, than after you're gone, or not at all. ;)
And, least I forget, a hearty congratulations to your own fine self for your nomination!
