*************************************************** Katherine MacLean to be Author Emeritus *************************************************** I am extremely pleased to announce that Katherine MacLean will join us at the Philadelphia Nebula Awards® weekend as SFWA Author Emeritus. One of the earliest women science fiction writers, Ms. MacLean saw her first story, "Defense Mechanism," published in Astounding Science Fiction in 1949. There followed a number of short stories, including "Pictures Don't Lie," "The Snowball Effect," the "Hills of Space" series, and 1971 Nebula Award® winner "The Missing Man." Ms. MacLean's short stories have been collected in The Diploids and The Trouble with You Earth People. Her novels include Cosmic Checkmate, Missing Man, and Dark Wing. SFWA began its Author Emeritus program in 1995 as a way of recognizing senior writers who have made significant contributions to our field. Previous recipients include Emil Petaja, Wilson "Bob" Tucker, Judith Merril, Nelson S. Bond, Philip Klass (William Tenn), Daniel Keyes, and Robert Sheckley.
