  Here's my own close encounter with JK Rowling.  After much hesitancy
  (and after consulting with Penny to see if it would be ok) I've decided
  to mention it.  Specifically, there's a website called SF Site, which is
  the home site for a number of the science fiction magazines and
  organizations in my field.  In their Best of 1999 list, they named
  Rowling's _Prisoner of Azkaban_ the third best science fiction or
  fantasy book of the year, and my _The Wild Swans_ was named as the
  fourth.  See:

  The original review that they based their Year's Best 10 list on is the
  best review I've ever received in my career.  It's at:

  http://sfsite.com//07a/wild60.htm  (Warning--it contains spoilers.)

  And hey, as long as I'm being a brazen hussy, I'll also mention that I
  just found out that _The Wild Swans_ was a co-winner of the 2000
  Gaylactic Network Spectrum Awards, for best novel of the year.  (The
  Spectrum Award was created to honor works in science fiction, fantasy
  and horror that deal positively with gay characters, themes and
  issues.)  See
