Hello,
I’m not sure whom to address this, but the artist for THE STORIES OF IBIS is Natsuki Lee. Is there an official address to send this information to? Thanks!
Hi Nick,
Thanks for the information! I’ll point Donna at this thread. (To be absolutely sure she sees it you could also drop an email to awards@bsfa.co.uk, as well.)
There is some good stuff here. And…..a few things that must have gotten a vote from mom or something. Anyway, standouts for me are:
The Stories of Ibis
Finch (although I think the U.S. trade cover more accurately represents the actual story)
Ben Greene’s cover for Crossed Genres #21.
The Habitation of the Blessed
It will be interesting to see who makes the final nomination list.
