I run the numbers on the Goodreads Choice Awards
Grey Sister is up for Best Fantasy 2018!
Getting to the finals would be a huge boost but it will be a big struggle. Red Sister didn't make it!
Here I run the numbers on this year's nominees:

But since a great many of my readers have now read it on my suggestion (insistence) I may well have shot myself in the foot when it comes to votes like this :D

I voted for Grey Sister! I hope you win.

It was re-released with a traditional publisher this year. And since I think it is a brilliant book that deserves a wider audience, I have no issue with it being on the nominee list.

Already voted and cannot wait for Holy Sister

Grey sister will take home the gold!
Had to go with Senlin Ascends, as well. Amazing debut novel. Also, I think it's fair to say that you have a bigger audience than Mr. Bancroft enjoys and I wanted to help his books get more exposure.
Vote again! Round 2 of the Goodreads Choice Awards is open.
Who will make the finals?

Both Grey Sister and Senlin Ascends have similar numbers.
well, I didn't have chance to read your book but vote for it :) . hope you win
come on guys, wheel of osheim was fabulous, red sister was great and they didn't win. i think grey sister is far above the rest and deserves first place.

Thanks for the support, Alexandru!
It is important, when voting for a nun, to ensure that you bring a mouse of sufficient clickiness.#SemiFinal #VoteAgain

I loved Grey Sister, Senlin and Bloody Rose. Wish I could vote for all three. Point is; people will still read all of these books for a long time and enjoy them. I know I did.
We the readers are spoiled for choice, which is a great thing! Even though you as authors are doing battle for the top spot(s). I guess what I am trying to say is thank you for the work you put into yours books Mark. As readers of your books, we have already won.
Voted for Grey Sister - there was no contest for me amongst the nominees. Now impatiently waiting for Holy Sister to complete my trilogy - good luck!

Woo hoo! Made the final :)You can vote again ... please do. One more push...

Fewer than 24 hours remaining to get your final round vote in!
