Chatting With Sherri welcomes best selling author; Robert  J Sawyer!

Science fiction writer and futurist Robert J. Sawyer has been interviewed over 350 times on radio, over 350 times on television, and countless times in print. A member of the Order of Canada, he lives in Mississauga, Ontario (just outside Toronto). Rob is one of only eight writers in history — and the only Canadian — to win all three of the world’s top Science Fiction awards for best novel of the year: the Hugo, the Nebula, and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award (the full list of such winners: Paolo Bacigalupi, David Brin, Arthur C. Clarke, Joe Haldeman, Frederik Pohl, Kim Stanley Robinson, Robert J. Sawyer, and Connie Willis), and he’s the first author in thirty years to receive a Lifetime Achievement Aurora Award.

According to the Locus Index to Science Fiction Awards, Robert J. Sawyer is the #1 all-time worldwide leader in number of award wins as a science-fiction or fantasy novelist (second place goes to China Miéville; Stephen King, Ursula K. LeGuin, and Connie Willis are tied for third place). Rob is also the #1 all-time leader in number of award nominations as a science-fiction or fantasy novelist (second place goes to Stephen King). In June 2016, Rob was inducted into the Order of Canada, the highest civilian honor bestowed by the Canadian government.

Rob has been a judge in L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future Contest since 2005 as one of the many ways he pays it forward.
