His daughter, Hillary, was the first girl I ever took out on a date. Imagine the dismay of a geeky, nerdy sci-fi kid going to pick up his first date, and confronting her dad. I hadn’t realized they were the same Keyes. Urp. Gotta say, the Hugo Award is cool, but the Nebula is stunningly beautiful. Just found this meme, and considering playing, but I hardly read books anymore… I’m an internet junkie.

I’ve heard him speak and it’s compelling, and I’ve been tempted to get the book.
