I’m very pleased to announce that Valley of Day-Glo, published under the Robert J. Sawyer Books imprint, has been named a finalist for the John W. Campbell Memorial Award — the principal juried award in the science fiction field, voted on by a blue-ribbon panel of American and British academics and critics. The award is considered the third of the big-three science fiction awards, after the Hugo and the Nebula. 

Man, I’m honored, humbled, and just plain thrilled!

Thanks to Rob and all the folks at Fitzhenry & Whiteside who worked so hard on this book.

Of further interest….
