Prometheus finalist - Ken Valentine - 03-29-2007
Anders Monsen Wrote:I agree with you Ken. I like Jim and his work (he has a terrific sense of humor in person that doesn't always show up in his fiction), but sometimes I tend to forget the contents a little too quickly after reading them.
I've never met him, but I got a glimpse of his sense of humor when I read his little ditties which rhymed the "unrhymable" words purple, orange, silver and month . . . absolutely hilarious!
Quote:I also recommend his novel, Code of the Lifemaker.
I've read that one too. I think the only books of his that I haven't read at least twice are Rockets, Redheads and Revolution and Kicking the Sacred Cow.

Of course, I still have to write it. Then it has to be good enough. Then I have to find an agent. Then the agent has to convince someone to publish it. Then I suppose people have to buy it. It sounds like the equivalent of running a marathon to the top of the Matterhorn.
According to the web site, the first Prometheus Award was a gold coin supposed to be worth $2500, awarded to F. Paul Wilson in 1982 for Wheels Within Wheels.
Someone's joshing about the million dollar prize, aren't they?
Well, Auskar...seemed I was misinformed.:eek: And I found out just as I was putting the finishing touches on me 1700 page opus STARSHIP TROOPERS FIND TIME ENOUGH FOR LOVE IN A STRANGE LAND. Sigh...:confused: Maybe I can get a blues lyric out of it...
