Hi Catherine! The writing folks across the 2008 Hugo Awards are all worth reading. It’s been an awesome ride.

Jon, thanks for heads up! I’ll see about adding links to your interviews in the next couple of days—I’ve been tired all out from oncall and other joyful things (a very long dentist’s appointment among them…).

I’m Jon Armstrong, one of the nominees, and I’m in the process of interviewing the other nominees on my podcast, If You’re Just Joining Us. I’ve already posted talks with Mary Robinette Kowal and Joe Abercrombie. I’m finishing the editing and will soon post David Louis Edelman, I’m recording David Anthony Durham today, and will hopefully speak with Scott soon.

It’s been a lot of fun! Come by and take a listen.

I’ve only read Joe Abercrombie’s The Blade Itself out of all of those (gave it 8/10) though Scott Lynch is on my must-read list as well. I really need to start looking for more new writers.
