 April has been a very busy month, with The Gathering of the Lost, Book Two in The Wall of Night series, being published in the USA, Australia and New Zealand on March 27 and in the UK on April 5—and the Blog Tour in full swing throughout that time!

But—there is more!

Gemmell Award Good News!

UK Trade Paperback Cover

In the midst of all the Touring razzmatazz I learned that The Heir of Night (The Wall of Night Book One) has been shortlisted for the Gemmell Morningstar Award for Best Fantasy Newcomer!

Yes, we made it through to the final round: an absolutely HUGE thrill!

About the Gemmells:
As I mentioned back in March, the Gemmell awards were established to honor the legacy of heroic fantasy maestro, author David Gemmell—and to celebrate excellence in the fantasy genre that he exemplified through books such as Legend and Dark Prince. So as a long time fan of David Gemmell's work, I feel deeply honored that my debut epic fantasy novel, The Heir of Night, is a finalist for the Morningstar Award.

But there is Even More Gemmell Award Good News for the Supernatural Underground: my friend and fellow author, Kim Falconer's novel, Journey By Night, has also made the finalists list—for the Ravenheart Award for Best Fantasy Cover Artwork. In her case, the cover art was done by her son, Aaron Briggs, which I personally feel makes the shortlisting for Journey By Night extra special!
