On April 9 I posted how thrilled I was to learn that The Heir of Night<\/em>, The Wall of Night Book One<\/strong>, had made it through to the final shortlist for the Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Newcomer.<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Receiving this news was a very exciting moment because it’s very difficult for new authors to get their books to stand out—and making the shortlist meant that readers internationally had not only read\u00a0The Heir of Night<\/em><\/strong> but voted for it as well. I know I thanked you then—but again now: thank you!<\/p>\n

The Gemmell Awards<\/strong> were established to honor the legacy of heroic fantasy maestro, author David Gemmell, and to celebrate excellence in the fantasy genre. As a long time David Gemmell reader, I feel deeply honored that The Heir of Night<\/strong><\/em> is a finalist for the Morningstar Award<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But each round of the Gemmell Awards<\/strong> is reader voted—and voting is now open again to determine the winner of all three categories of award.<\/p>\n

Once again, if The Heir of Night<\/strong><\/em> is to have any hope of winning the Morningstar Award<\/strong> then it does very much need your support—if you feel you can in good conscience give it.<\/p>\n

But if you do<\/em> feel you can, then:<\/p>\n
