Podiobook author nominated for 2007 Philip K. Dick Award
Jon Armstrong just emailed me with some FANTASTIC news that is so hot, even the official PKD Award site hasn’t updated their site with the info yet:
For Immediate Release
2007 Philip K. Dick Award Nominees Announced
The judges of the 2007 Philip K. Dick Award and the Philadelphia SF Society are pleased to announce seven nominated works that comprise the final ballot for the award:

NOVA SWING by M. John Harrison (Bantam Spectra)
GRADISIL by Adam Roberts (Pyr)

Jon made a podiobook version of Grey and it’s been getting great feedback from the listeners — including me! Strange, edgy, and about as far our as you can get. Definitely not your standard SF fare!
