My space-opera novel,
The Other
, featuring my corpulent far-future master criminal Luff Imbry, is on a short list of three for the inaugural
A.E. Van Vogt Award.
The award is presented by the Winnipeg Science Fiction Association and is named for Canada's only SFWA grandmaster. I don't know when the final decision is made, nor by whom or what process. It was supposed to all have wrapped up in September but I guess there were some first-time glitches.
