Last year, The Heir of Night<\/em><\/strong> won the Gemmell Morningstar Award<\/a> for Best Fantasy Newcomer—and this year The Gathering Of The Lost<\/em><\/strong> is on the longlist for the open category: the Gemmell Legend Award<\/a>, which is given for a novel, published in the preceding calendar year, in the epic, heroic, or high Fantasy genre.<\/p>\n

And because the Legend Award is the open category, there are some pretty heavy hitters—i.e. well-established names—amongst the authors on the longlist, as well as\u00a0 newer folk like me.<\/p>\n

Voting for this year’s shortlist closes in just a few days, on Wednesday, 31 July.<\/p>\n

Now it may well be that there’s another book on that list you loved more, in which case you must certainly back it with your vote.\u00a0 But if you have enjoyed Gathering <\/em>and\/or would like to support a NZ book abroad, then I would very much appreciate the support to get Gathering<\/em> through to the next round!<\/p>\n

If you know anyone else who would be keen to “get in behind” then by all means pass the word along. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

And thank you.<\/p>\n
