Just a brief update for you all this time to let you know that the shortlist for Mark Lawrence's Great self-published Fantasy Blog-off has been announced.
I say shortlist, but really it's a long, long list of 250 titles. This will be whittled down to a lucky 25 over the next few months by the respective bloggers involved.
The cool thing about this list is that I'm on it too!
A big congratulations to the following Fictiongarden affiliates for their making the cut as well:
Matt Waldram
S.M. White
Luke Matthews
Christopher Kellen
Tony Healey
Tom Wright
Tristan Gregory
J.S. Morin
Michael Watson
Christian Freed
Matthew Colville
Gregory Close
Davis Ashura
Ken Lim
Andrew Rowe
Kal S. Davian
Patrick J. Loller
M. Todd Gallowglas
Graham Austin-King
I've probably missed somebody somewhere, so for that I apologise. It really is a mammoth list, but having read and rated a tenth of the books in question I can say that competition is going to be fierce!
In addition to these fine folk there's a glut of talent out there that I hope to be working with in future anthologies. Good luck to those folks as well, they deserve it.
I've compiled my own substantial list of future reading thanks to the efforts of Mark Lawrence to bring this to fruition. You'll be hearing exactly what I think about many of these books in the year to come!
Last but most certainly not least, a hearty congratulations to Claire Frank, whose Echoes of Imara series has been picked up by Realmwalker Publishing Group. A most enjoyable read that I had the pleasure of reviewing recently. Well deserved!
