[LMB] (News) Hallowed Hunt a Mythopoeic nominee

[Lois McMaster Bujold]

Some more nice news, just in from the Mythopoeic folks:

"I am very pleased to inform you that your 2005 publication,/ The 
Hallowed Hunt,/ has been selected as a finalist for the 2006 Mythopoeic 
Fantasy Award for Adult Literature. The winners of this year's awards 
will be announced at the Mythcon XXXVII in Norman, Oklahoma, from August 
4-7, 2006. ...

The Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature is given to the 
fantasy novel, multi-volume, or single-author story collection for 
adults published during the previous year that best exemplifies "the 
spirit of the Inklings". Books are eligible for two years after 
publication if not selected as a finalist during the first year of 
eligibility. Books from a series are eligible if they stand on their 
own; otherwise, the series becomes eligible the year its final volume 
appears. The Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children's Literature honors 
books for younger readers (from "Young Adults" to picture books for 
beginning readers), in the tradition of/ The Hobbit/ or/ The Chronicles 
of Narnia/. Rules for eligibility are otherwise the same as for the 
Adult Literature award. The question of which award a borderline book is 
best suited for will be decided by consensus of the committees.

The Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in Inklings Studies is given to books 
on Tolkien, Lewis, and/or Williams that make significant contributions 
to Inklings scholarship. For this award, books first published during 
the last three years are eligible, including finalists for previous 
years. The Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in Myth and Fantasy Studies is 
given to scholarly books on other specific authors in the Inklings 
tradition, or to more general works on the genres of myth and fantasy. 
The period of eligibility is three years, as for the Inklings Studies award.

The complete list of this year's finalists in all categories, along with 
a press release in PDF format, is available on the Society web site:
