So, several of my friends are eligible for the Campbell award this year. This is for new writers in the first two years of publishing professionally. I would be thrilled for any of them to be on the ballot.
But I've never seen a writer come out of the gate like

I may not be a particularly loud champion of urban fantasy, and it's not a genre often recognized by the Hugo crowd, but you gotta stand up and recognize the sheer awesome of this girl.
So. She's eligible. Consider this my endorsement. Also she can sing and draw, as envinced by...

It's really not fair for one person to be so damn good.
But I think she is a shoo-in, honestly.
