Today I just found out that Empire, the second Sigmar novel in Black Library's Time of Legends series, has made it into the shortlisted top 5 of the David Gemmell Legend Award! Bizarrely, I found out when an Australian friend of mine e-mailed me from Timor to tell me (talk about a roundabout way for information to travel...). Here's the video from the DGLA website.

So if you're one of the erudite, fashionable, debonair and imaginative people who voted for it, thank you very much for your support. But remember that the votes don't carry through, so I'll be asking to vote again so we can beat those Johnny-come-latelys like Robert Jordan... And remember that Jon Sullivan, the handsome, talented fellow that did the cover for Empire is also nominated (twice!) in the Ravenheart Best Fantasy Cover Art category, so be sure to give him your vote too.

I was at Eastercon on Saturday, and I'll talk about that (as well as a subject that'll get a few folks simmering) in the next few days.

Thanks again,

Graham.
