This news is slighly old (Locus Magazine announced it November 29th), but since my site wasn't up then, I'm going to post it now: Robin Hobb has won the 2007 Endeavour Award for her book Forest Mage. 'Mage is the second book in Hobb's Soldier Son trilogy, which I haven't read, to be honest. But I probably will, since I'm a huge Hobb fan. Congrats to her for the win.
According to Endeavour's own site, the award "represents a collaboration between writers and fans of Science Fiction and Fantasy to encourage the growth of literature in the field and recognize works of excellence. It is named for H.M. Bark Endeavour, the ship of Northwest explorer Capt. James Cook."
Endeavour has also announced that the next award will be given out at OryCon 30 in November of '08, "for a book published during 2007. The award is accompanied by a grant of $1,000."
Entries for the next award must be in by Feburary 2008, addtional information is on their site.
Also, for those interested, SFF World conducted an interview with Robin Hobb back in August, where she talked about the Soldier Son trilogy. It's still archived on their site and can be found here.
