Glad you like the art. It's actually from a comic book I made for the Victoria comiccon out here in canada :). It's good to join a community that is as passionate about fantasy as I am. I hope one day something I publish gets put on the nominee list :) well when i have the time to hunker down and actually get it started. thx again
Thanks for the quick notification.
I saw yesterday that this site exists, it is very nice to read that there is an award in the spirit of Gemmell.
Unfortunately, I can't contribute a lot to the awards, because the translations of the books, if it's translated, thake's a while . And as you can read my English is not the best.
It's great to read that all my favorite authors are listed on this site: Conn Iggulden, Brent Weeks, James Barclay, Ruckley and more.
Thanks, Debbie. Glad to be here. I loved Gemmell - could not believe it when he died. I am so please to find this award and tribute to Gemmell. Fantastic idea. I'd love to come to the Awards, but I am guessing they are in UK? (I'm in Aus)
Thanks!
I'm a french Gemmell's fan. I have all his books, several in english, because they aren't translated yet! I read about Sci-fi and Fantasy crossword on a french fantasy website and I signed-up to solve it!
I'm sorry, my english isn't very good.
Have a good day!

Thanks - This is my son jack. Im trying to teach him his first words at the moment which are Dada and Mama but all i get out of him is 'Drudd,Druss,Druss!'
haha, sunny? It's winter here, its been pouring for 3 days now. Thanks, I was hoping to get in here, David Gemmell is a personal hero of mine. Thanks to him I started writing my own books, two done now :).
Thanks for the welcome
Thank you for the brilliant event on Friday! It was a superb evening and I throughly enjoyed it :). Keep up the good work. I look forward to next years.
Ms. Miller,
I would like to ask for the html embed code for a DGLA badge, which I plan to post on my blog. Thank you, in advance, for your time and effort. You've a wonderful site here.
Pete
thank you. I'm fine. Life changed a bit due to economic crisis.
And yes it was a hard decision. I finally placed my vote some days ago.
When the shortlist has been released I only knew to books from the list: LAST ARGUMENT OF KINGS by Joe Abercrombie and THE WAY OF SHADOWS by Brent weeks. I thought it wouldn't be equitable to vote when I know two books. Unfortunately the books by Juliet Marillier and Brandon Sanderson are part of series. And the books by Andrzej Sapkowski have a totally confusing release order in Germany and UK.
Finally I decided to buy and read the whole MISTBORN trilogy by Brandon Sanderson. AND I DID. What a great read! I hade to decide between Brent Weeks, Joe Abercrombie and Brandon Sanderson.
I read again that post ABOUT YOUR VOTE. In the end I voted for HERO OF AGES by Brandon Sanderson because
- it is a book written in "the spirit" of David Gemmell
- it is the more than worthy final book of the trilogy
Now I await eagerly the 19th of June 2009 !
I was bit late with my question for Jacqueline Carey but fortunateley I made it. This year I started to read more interviews. So I look forward
To read the interview with Jacqueline Carey. I didn't read one of her books so far... Too many interesting books and so little time
Hi Deborah,
Just found it in a Google search. Must be a new run of the cover. I blended the image of my face in myself, im a graphic designer. Im also working on a large Pencil drawing from the Deathwalker book. Should be cool. Yeah, the site is cool, my kind of thing really. And thanks for the comment, much appreciated.

Hallowe'en fancy dress party, but close. Just found out about the contest and it looks great. We'll be throwing in a couple of submissions sharpish.
I'll prod you or jump on the boards if I have any questions.
