First the good news...
I'm totally thrilled to announce that HINDSIGHT just won the Prestigious Hemming Award for Excellence in SF & Fantasy Themes! YAYYYY!!!

Judges called it: "breathtaking writing of the highest order."

As sequel to last year's winner Diamond Eyes, which won by the first unanimous vote by the panel, this second win also makes history as the first time that any author has ever won the award TWICE.

... a bittersweet win, tho, since they also awarded a joint win this year to the late great Sara Douglass for the Devil's Diadem, a terrific book with a lovely twist, which was written on the difficult theme of death, while Sara was actually dying herself. Such a sad loss to the writing community, and a terrible shame that she never got to collect her prize or even know of her win alongside my "Hindsight".
