RELATED: Worldcon 76 Chair Mike Roche Admits To Spending Over $100K In Combating Jon Del Arroz’s Defamation Lawsuit, Doesn’t Learn Anything Lackey continues to have a lasting influence on my own work and I’m beyond thrilled to see her honored as SFWA’s newest Grand Master,” Kennedy added. “She gave me warrior women I could believe in, magic-wielding queer heroes, and characters who suffered, then overcame their physical and emotional traumas. With multi-layered fantasy worlds, canny magical systems, and characters who step off the page as living, breathing people, Lackey’s books have made an enormous impact on the genre.”
SFWA President Jeffe Kennedy said this of her career, “From the time I read my first Mercedes Lackey book as a young woman, her stories have illuminated my imagination and brought joy to my life.
Lackey, 72 years old, has published more than 140 books and the organization praised her contributions to science fiction and fantasy. Lackey’s banning comes just a year after she won SFWA’s Grand Master lifetime achievement award, becoming only the 57 th person to be given such a title from the organization.
