***Jean Lorrah's BLOOD WILL TELL wins
literary award***
Each year the Lord Ruthven Assembly gives awards for the best fiction and
nonfiction works on the subject of vampires. The winners for the year
2001 are
Fiction: BLOOD WILL TELL by Jean Lorrah
Non-fiction: FOOD FOR THE DEAD by Michel E. Bell
There were over 150 vampire novels published in 2001, including new books
by Anne Rice and P. N. Elrod. The Lord Ruthven Assembly is the group of
scholars of vampire literature and lore who meet every year in association
with the International Conference on the Fantastic.
Jean reports, "I wasn't expecting the honor, and didn't even know my book
was being considered. It's always exciting to win an award, and this one
comes from people who really deeply study vampire literature, so it means
a
great deal to me."
Jean Lorrah is co-owner with Jacqueline Lichtenberg of simegen.com and
Sime~Gen Inc. You can find out more about her work at

There is lots going on in reviews right now. There are
several new science fiction reviews on Spatium Arena and on the non-fiction
reviews site too. A new addition to the reviews main page is a featured
reviews section. It will give Gatemasters the chance to draw visitors into
their sites with new reviews. In addition, Spatium Arena is happy to
announce that Amy Harlib is doing movie and TV reviews. She already has
three reviews posted there. We also have a new Horror Gatemaster who is
settling in, Deb Quaife. She has excellent qualifications and I am happy to
welcome her.
Finally, the spring book awards program has kicked off.
Publishers in our database were all contacted and we are now getting flooded
with books. Gatemasters have from now until the end of April to review as
many books as they can. Then, the Gatemasters will nominate books for our
award program. In order to be nominated, the book must have a review posted
on SimeGen. It will not matter when the book was published. After
Gatemasters nominate the books, their choices will go into a voting form and
our site visitors will vote for their favorites.
At this time there are a few openings for Reviews in several departments. If you wish to review for simegen.com - email reviews@simegen.com
