Worldcon! – Ann Leckie

Worldcon! blog post by Ann Leckie

I did have one or two people tell me they were WoT fans but had put AJ in first place, and I would like to say how much that means to me. Because like I said, I know fans of WoT really, really love it.

Ann, you’re very welcome and congratulations!
