In the spirit of that “good company” I would also like to draw your attention to the new-out BookSworn <\/a>post featuring the books of all four BookSworn authors who have made the longlist:\u00a0 Elspeth Cooper<\/a>, Mark Lawrence<\/a>, myself, Helen Lowe<\/strong>, and Mazarkis Williams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The post features an excerpt from each of our books, plus a reviewer’s quote and a link to where you can read more — which I hope you will, because although naturally I hope you may choose to\u00a0 “vote for GATHERING” for the award, a big part of the Gemmell Award process is to get readers and lovers of the genre discussing and trying out new books. The BookSworn feature is an opportunity to do just that.<\/p>\n

All you need to do is click on:<\/p>\n
