ANNE McCAFFREY NAMED GRAND MASTER OF THE SCIENCE FICTION WRITERS OF AMERICA!
Anne McCaffrey was named Grand Master of the Science Fiction Writers of America, during the Nebula Awards weekend in Chicago, April 29-May 1.
Del Rey hosted a cake-and-champagne-punch reception in honor of Anne McCaffrey. The artwork on the cake is by multiple award-winning artist Michael Whelan, who granted us the "cake rights" for its use. (It first appeared as the cover art on one of the early editions of Anne's most famous Pern novel, DRAGONFLIGHT.) The photo is by singer Janis Ian. Congratulations to Anne McCaffrey on her much-deserved accolade.
