“The Heir of Night” Nominated For The UK-Based Gemmell Awards
I am delighted and honoured to announce that The Heir of Night has been nominated for the UK -based Gemmell Awards, established to honour heroic fantasy author David Gemmell—and to celebrate excellence in the heroic/epic fantasy genre that Gemmell exemplified through books such as Legend, Waylander and The Knights of Dark Renown, to name only a very few from amongst his body of work.
The Heir of Night has been nominated in two categories, the Legend Award for Best Fantasy Novel 2011, and the Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Debut 2011.
The Gemmell Awards are reader voted, with voting links on the respective web pages—so for The Heir of Night to get through into the final round of shortlisted books is dependent on your support. So I am asking all my readers here, who feel they can in good conscience do so, to click on the following links and vote now for “The Heir of Night“. 🙂
.
The Morningstar Award: to shortlist The Heir of Night for Best Fantasy Debut—vote here
.
The Legend Award: to shortlist The Heir of Night for Best Fantasy Novel—vote here
.
Although I know it involves voting twice, please do vote in both Award categories, as it would be wonderful if The Heir of Night could make a good showing amongst both the Morningstar’s ‘new names’ and in the more ‘wide-open’ Legend section—your vote will definitely count in both sections.
And please do spread the word to anyone you know who may wish to vote and support The Heir of Night as well. 🙂
