I take it that you be a member Ben? I am a member, and if there are any works that you think that should be recommended, let me know. I may already have ARCs of them but haven't gotten to them yet. It'd help me to decide which book to read next, since there are so many offered As far as the specialty press goes... I'm not sure how that works. Perhaps some of the higher ups do that.

Any member can recommend works. There's also a jury for each category, so the preliminary ballot will contain the 5 (or so) works with the highest number of recommendations, and 5 from the jury. Then Active HWA members will vote those into the Final Ballot, and then down to the winner(s).
Awards like Specialty Press are determined by a committee.
The Silver Hammer award is an actual, heavy, skull-splintering-capable hammer. I'll have access to it right before the ceremony, so any bribes can be sent my way.

$3.75 how's that? Sent straight into your paypal account right now this very second if you agree. I'll never mention it again, I won't display it in public and I swear if it is used in any crime and something goes awry, I won't give up where I got it from. Now tell me... do we have a deal?

Ah right I get you, so basically any member can recommend anything if they are a member and then it gets whittled down and some other members weed out all the crap so hopefully you end up with the shit for that year. I take it that you be a member Ben? Is there a limited of how many things you can recommend? Cause it would be cool if you could recommend TSB for the Speciality Press award. A ton of other publishers I like have already won it and I think TSB have worked extra hard this year picking up all the slack. And if you could sneak me one of the hammers that would be awesome. I love and appreciate your enthusiasm Jack, but someone like Dave Barnett of Necro Publications deserves it a thousand times more than me. Paul

I'm staying at the Marriott a couple blocks away for a similar price-- June 12-14. Then the rest is at the Montelone.

If I can still get reservations, I think I'll be staying at Historic Creole Lodge the 12th and 13th. Walking distance from the French Quarter at 1/3 the price.

Pulled out about 75 hardcover books to be signed by artists at WHC. Amazing how many publishers produce deluxe limiteds and neglect artist signatures.
