The Gemmell Awards: Just Ten Days Until Voting Closes
On January 16 I posted the very exciting news, here, that The Heir of Night has been nominated for the Gemmell Awards in both the Morningstar (Best Fantasy Newcomer) and Legend (Best Fantasy Novel) categories.
The Gemmell Awards have been established to honour heroic fantasy author David Gemmell—and to celebrate excellence in the heroic/epic fantasy genre, and on February 16 I shared some of the reasons why I feel honoured that The Heir of Night has been nominated, here.
But once the longlist of nominated works is released, the Gemmell Awards are solely reader voted, so for The Heir of Night to make it into the next round, ie onto the shortlist, then it does need support—in the form of votes recorded prior to 31 March, just ten days away.
So if you enjoyed The Heir of Night and would like to see it succeed in such a major international competition then I would love it if you felt able 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 thank you so much for any/all support!
