I am also doing a The Gathering Of The Lost<\/em> giveaway<\/strong> on the Supernatural Underground, which will run through until midnight, Monday 8, US Eastern Standard Time—that’s about Tuesday 4 pm, NZ time so if you haven’t entered yet there is still a window.:) Just click here<\/a> to enter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Last week also saw the second post in Rebecca Fisher’s “Big Worlds On Small Screens’<\/strong>” series—this time looking at the TV dramatisation of Margaret Mahy’s Maddigan’s Fantasia<\/em>, right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And the quote of the week was from Liz Gatens<\/a> on The Gathering Of The Lost<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201cBrilliant, gripping, fantastic backstory… <\/em>[Read the full quote here<\/a>.]

Coming Up This Week:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>You may have noticed that I’m addressing ‘themes’ as part of the Tuesday Poem at the moment, so while the\u00a0the voting period for the David Gemmell Legend Award longlist is open (until 31 July) I thought I’d feature what I consider to be legendary and\/or epic poems — so watch the Tuesday slot for that.<\/p>\n

Also coming up — well, part of writing an epic fantasy novel is that you get to think a lot about tropes, those you like that define the genre and those that you regard with considerably less enthusiasm, so I’ll be sharing a\u00a0 few of those with you over the next week or so.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And while not on the blog I remain ‘head down, tail up,’ soldiering away on Daughter Of Blood<\/em>, The Wall of Night<\/a> Book Three.\u00a0 Speaking of which: back to it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
