The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America’s 50th Annual Nebula Awards Weekend will be held in Chicago, Illinois June 4 through 7, 2015.
My plane and hotel are booked, I’ve researched the best place to get a hot dog near the Awards Hotel, and I’m looking forward to seeing folks at the Nebulas in Chicago in the first week of June.
By then my brand new Nikon should be just about worn in, and I’ll be submitting coverage to anyone who wants it. Typically, Locus uses a few of my shots, and SFRevu will be running a gallery of them.
There’s a lot of good stuff on this year’s list. Ann Leckie is back with Ancillary Sword, Jack McDevitt’s Coming Home was a welcome addition to both the Alex Benedict series and these awards, as is my friend Chuck Gannon’s Trial by Fire. I haven’t read either The Three Body Problem, or Annihilation yet, but I’m intrigued by both and will get it done before then. I’ve been off reading shorter works, paradoxically because I don’t have time, but did read We Are All Completely Fine by one of my favorite authors, Daryl Gregory, and I recommend it.
If you’re going, drop me a line or something and maybe we’ll grab a beer at the bar, or head over to Jim’s Original on Union Ave for his famous red hot dog with plenty of “sport peppers.”
