Jana G. Oliver Wins 2008 Pluto Award
By KitchenSink Entertainment Group
Dated: Sep 02, 2008
Jana G. Oliver's Virtual Evil made the cut to become the winner of the 2008 Pluto Award given out by Yellow30 Sci-Fi Review of Books
RADFORD, VA-Yellow30 Sci-Fi, an online speculative fiction review, is proud to announce the winner of the second annual Pluto Award. This year's award goes to the second book in the Time Rovers Series by Jana G. Oliver. Ms. Oliver's Virtual Evil is a masterfully crafted book about time travel that intertwines a good gothic mystery thread throughout.
Mark Randell, the new editor at Yellow30 Sci-Fi, states the award committee had a hard time this year as the contenders for the award were some of the best books reviewed in the past year. Frank Creed's Flashpoint and Christopher Hopper's The Lion Vrie made the judges job very difficult to say the least.
Ms. Oliver can be proud of the fact that this is the second time she's won the Pluto Award. Perhaps we're seeing the rising of a new star in the science fiction writer's world.
Virtual Evil won an Honorable Mention in the ForeWord Awards for science fiction and tied for the Gold Medal in the Independent Publishers Award for science fiction.

I guess I'm "chuffed" thtat it finaled, too, although I never heard that word before. Is it one of the new slang words in War of Attrition?
In guess I'm going to have to look up Jana G. Oliver s ince I had never heard of her before. But I seriously doubt if I will agree with the judges, no matter how good the book might be.
Oh, it is a British-type adjective (meaning happy with life).
Come to think of it, it is important not to confuse it with the verb, noun or interjection forms because they mean /entirely/ different things—and not a mix-up one would want to make in polite society.
