From this site:
Chris Moriarty’s Spin Control was named as the winner of the 2007 Philip K. Dick Award at Norwescon 30, in SeaTac, Washington. The Philip K. Dick Award is presented annually by the Philadelphia Science Fiction Society for distinguished science fiction published in paperback original form in the United States.
Chris Moriarty is the pen name of the child of one of the smartest, nicest, coolest feminist law profs ever. If you like science fiction, put it on your list!

Congrats! I’m sure it took much effort for both the child AND the parent too achieve this! In a galaxy far, far away (where some of us live) we need to hear of such people!
