Last Chance to Dance: The Gemmell Awards & the Sir Julius Vogels Both Close Today!
Which means, in fact, that it is the last chance to vote and nominate respectively–but you can dance too if you want too. 😉 I’ll certainly be doing a happy dance if I make it to the next round of either category in the Gemmell Awards!
About the Gemmell Awards
If you don’t know about the Gemmell Awards yet, here’s the deal. The awards were established to honour heroic fantasy author David Gemmell and celebrate excellence in the heroic/epic fantasy genre. This year, 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.
Getting through to the next shortlist round is reader voted—so given some of those big names on the Legend long list, obviously I need all the support I can muster! So if you enjoyed “The Heir of Night“ and feel you can in good conscience do so, then please take this last chance to vote for it by clicking now on the following links:

About The Sir Julius Vogel Awards
Nominations for the Sir Julius Vogel Awards also close today. The Awards are made annually by the Science Fiction & Fantasy Association of New Zealand (SFFANZ), for works published or released in the previous calendar year, and recognize achievement in Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror by New Zealanders. Anyone may nominate and there is a list of eligible works on the SFFANZ site here—and another on the SpecFicNZ site, here.
So if you loved a scifi, fantasy or horror story, novel or film published or released by a New Zealander last year then do not hesitate—nominate! Now, at once today: it’s your last chance!
