There was a little discussion around here when a package of Ditmar eligible works were made available to eligible voters.  It was all sorted out, which is cool. I’d like to point out how common this is becoming, and what a cool and intelligent thing it is  ( happy readers grow more readers who ultimately buy books), I’d like to point Hugo voters towards John Scalzi’s Hugo Novel Package which features four of the five nominated novels (!).  If you’re an eligible voter, go get it now!  I’d also recommend you go out and pick up the fifth novel, Michael Chabon’s Yiddish Policemen’s Union, which I loved. Scalzi has done a cool and smart thing here, and deserves our applause.

Just heard that Terry Dowling’s “Toother” from Eclipse One has won the 2007 Australian Shadows Award.  Many congratulations to Terry.
