Non-realtime egoboo
I am pleased to report that I am told that my novels, "The Family Trade", "The Hidden Family", and "The Clan Corporate" have collectively been nominated for the Sidewise Award for alternate history.
UPDATE: Two of my novels are finalists in the Locus awards — "Glasshouse" in the list for best SF novel, and "The Jennifer Morgue" in the list for best fantasy novel — and "Missile Gap" is in the list for best novella!
Congrats!
I'm actually holding off on reading #3 until #4 and #5 are available. However I did read TJM last week, very funny.
Congratulations, sir, on the much deserved praise.
Excellent news. Take a couple of bows, and let's all give a chorus of huzzahs; you deserve it, Charlie.
As they say about Tegmark, if he's right about the multiverse, he'll win a Nobel Prize. And not win a Nobel Prize.
I confidently predict that you will win a Sidewise Award for alternate history. And not win a Sidewise Award. That means both a golden and a silver thingie for your badge, and two different parties to attend.
Your definitely deserve the honor. I love your 'Family Trade' series.

More praise easily deserved! It's compared to Zelasny on the cover, but it's way better IMO. I was surprised just how good it is!! :-D
Congratulations!
Good
Way better? It isn't even finished. It is good, and our host hasn't me down with a novel yet, but the end could still suck. :)
Very good news. Congrates dude. It's nice to see that such modern-style writing is now being considered. All three are solid. I hope you hat-trick.
I am very disturbed about not being able to find missile gap on eMule and similar venues. Oh well, I'm sure it'll get there eventually.
David @11: Watch This Space. Seriously. (Announcement coming soon ...)
BlueTyson. I read the first two "Amber" books and got bored. I've read the first two Merchant Princes books and I want more. So even if there's a sucky ending, Merchant Princes still wins by points... :P
Congratulations.
No chance you get tired of all this adulation & recognition?
Woah - that's gotta stoke the ego :)
Remember the little people who got you there come IPO eh?
Well done Charlie.
But I thought the Jennifer Morgue was based on real life?
guthrie, brain-sucking PowerPoint presentations are in *no way* related to anything in real life. Oh no never.
Listen Charlie,
So your up for all these awards? Swell.
Get back to the word processor & WRITE, dammit!
Must. Have. More. Bob. Howard. Soon.

True. A PPP can't *possess* somebody; it'd just suck all IQ from them - a zombification. The trick is that a really bad one would take somebody into negative IQ, where talking to a normal person would eat their IQ as well, leading to more zombies. Instead of spreading through biting, it'd be a tidier process.
