Congratulations to Anna Smaill on Winning the World Fantasy Award 2016
New Zealand author, Anna Smaill, has won the World Fantasy Award 2016 (Novel), for her dystopian novel, The Chimes.
The World Fantasy Awards are regarded as very prestigious and are given for the best fantasy fiction published in English during the previous calendar year. The award for Best Novel is not only a first for Anna but I am fairly certain it is a first for New Zealand as well — so very well done, Anna, on all counts!
I interviewed Anna about The Chimes in May 2015 and the interview is available here:
