I woke up this morning, bleary eyed and not yet fully caffeinated, to the news that The Heartstone Thief has been nominated for a DragonCon Award.

This is some pretty epic news. Especially for a little-known British author, and it's a testament to my fans that Heartstone is among some amazing books competing for the awards this year.

Looking at the fantasy category, there are some mega-bestselling urban fantasy books in there and as Heartstone launched just a few months ago, it's still finding its feet. To be nominated is a-mazing. But what if this trope-bending grimdark fantasy could do more?

That's where you come in. Can you help?

The Dragon Awards are different to other prestigious awards out there, and here's why:

The awards are “by the fans, for the fans, and are your chance to reward those who have made real contributions to SF, books, games, comics, and shows.”

There is no qualification for voting – no convention fees or other memberships are needed. The only requirement is that you register, confirm your email address for voting purposes, and agree to the rules. This ensures that all votes count equally.

I'd love for you to consider voting for The Heartstone Thief. With that incentive, I may even get on with writing the sequel ;)

Thank you.
