Announcing the 2014 and 2015 Gaylactic Spectrum Awards for Best Novel
Spectrum Awards for Best Novel Announced at ChessieCon in November 2015
This is late, I know!
At a special ceremony on November 28, during ChessieCon (in Timonium, MD). the winners of the Gaylactic Spectrum Award for Best Novel for 2013 and 2014 were announced by Rob Gates and Carl Cipra.
The winners of the Awards for Best Short Fiction will be announced at Gaylaxicon 2016 in Minneapolis this October.
Death by Silver (Lethe Press) by Melissa Scott and Amy Griswold, is the winner of the 2014 Spectrum Award for Best Novel published in 2013. It's a murder mystery with magic, set in London, in an alternate Victorian England (where one goes to Oxford to study magic).
Fairs' Point (Lethe Press) by Melissa Scott, is the winner of the 2015 Award for Best Novel published in 2014. The fourth novel in the Astreiant series is also a magical murder mystery set in a fantasy world reminiscent of urban Renaissance Europe.
The Gaylactic Spectrum Awards recognize outstanding works in science fiction, fantasy, or horror that deal positively with issues, themes, and characters of special relevance to the GLBT communities.
Nominations are open to everyone; readers, fans, writers/creators,and publishers are all encouraged to nominate their own or other works.
Thanks to Carl Cipra from whose article in the Lambda Sci-Fi January 2016 newsletter I borrowed quite freely.
