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!
Yah!
Recognition is sweet.
I’d not spent so much time with Charles before and really enjoyed the weekend with him, Liza and Amelia. What a wild team they are. A lot of the winners and judges appreciated his acceptance speech where he correctly acknowledged that the contests are about the art – keeping it going.
