Publisher’s Weekly reports that CHARLES N. Brown has been presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Writers of the Future weekend. I literally could not be happier.  I can’t imagine anyone who deserves such an award more than CHARLES, and am delighted that someone else agrees with me. He’s been a vital part of science fiction and fantasy for more than 40 years, and we’re very lucky to have him working our field. He also makes a great turkey stuffing, has fantastic taste in scotch, knows some awful jokes, and is exactly the kind of friend you want when things get tough.  Mazel tov!
