Let Me Axe You Something 2 : Another Big Axe
Well, obviously my nemesis Doctor Penguino (1) has had word of my general allergy to awards, because I suddenly find myself on the David Gemmell Legend award shortlist!
Seriously, though, I am insanely grateful to everyone who cast their vote for me. This is the first time I've clawed my way onto a shortlist, and it's with book 9 of a series. And blimey, look at the names making up that list: Sanderson (/Jordan!), Brett, Lynch, Mark Lawrence and me. This is humbling company to be in.
But, like that phishing email you now wish you'd never responded to, here comes the next request: I would be very, very grateful if anyone whose conscience so dictated would go back to the Legend Award site and cast their stone in the shortlist hustings. It's the same deal as before, no registration or other shenanigans, just click on the link, select and click the vote button. I appreciate that I'm stepping into the ring with some giants of the genre, but it would bring me great pleasure to be able to entitle a blog post "Hit by an axe" some day (2).

Grats Tchaikovsky. I thought your Shadow of the Apts series never got the attention it deserved. What are your plans after book 10?
Stand alone fantasy, sci fi, start new series - also have another SF not under contract that I'm working on. No shortage of stuff :)
Thats great to hear, thanks Sir Tchaikovsky. Good to know theyll be plenty of stuff from you to read. Was hoping you would do some horror, I liked that little story at the end of book 8 (or was it book 9). Thought it was creepy. Anyways, I voted for you and look forward to your other works. Good Luck!
