Just got back from the Edge Lit festival in Derby, organised by the wonderful Alex Davis. It was really great to see everyone, and particularly gratifying to find out so many people have already voted in this year's Gemmells. There were still a few who hadn't even heard of us! They were…

At 21:59 on October 22, 2008, Swainson said…: Thanks for the heads up. I'll check the site out.

there a quite a few good titles on the list so I am not sure just yet.

At 16:40 on November 16, 2008, DavidJFortier said…: I'm honoured to be here. Mr. Gemmel's work has inspired me to writing my own tales. For now I will remain a voter, but perhaps...

I was surfing the net after new fantasy books when I saw that a book was nominated for the David Gemmell Legend Award. That caught my interest, so I had to check it out. David Gemmell is my favorite author (alongside Tolkien, but two different kind of authors), so I wanted to find out what this was.

I must say that it's a brilliant idea, seeing how much David Gemmell gave to the fantasy genre. He was a true artist when it came to writing fantastic fantasy books.

At 21:17 on December 2, 2008, Kiwi said…: Thanks for your welcome, I posted in the wrong part of board. But thanks to Debbie, will be able to find my way around now. I have read several of David Gemmells books over the last year. Great reads for sure. Plan on reading more.

At 20:06 on December 3, 2008, The Magician/Chris O'Shea said…: Thank you for the welcome, much appreciated!

Life is hectic at the moment so I don't know what I'll be able to contribute, but I'll be reading all these great book recommendations and trying to find time to read the ones I've missed so far ...

cheers
Chris
