Again to my surprise two of my books and one of my covers made it to the finals of the
eFestival of Words – Best of the Independent eBook Awards
The nominations were by peers, meaning people somehow connected with writing and/or publishing. This time the vote is open for the public.
You can see how I’m doing (and vote) here:
Best Novel
The Invisible Hands – Part 2: Castling
Best Fantasy (High Fantasy/Sword and Sorcery)
The Invisible Hands – Part 3: Pawn Storm
Best Cover Art
The Invisible Hands – Part 3: Pawn Storm
The credit for this should actually go to Adrijus Guscia, for the cover design, and Agnieszka Mirosław-Kalinowska, the artist who drew the pawns.
Here you can find all the finalists of the 2014 eFestival of Words.
I’m pleased to see a lot of people I know got through to the finals as well. Especially my good friend Caddy Rowland who managed to stay in the running for Best Series — where I got booted from, but, then again, I mustn’t be greedy — for the Gastien Series, and Best Historical Fiction for Gastien: Circle of Destiny.
Now it’s up to the voters. I just feel lucky, not to mention honored, to have gotten this far as a finalist in no less than three categories. I have no idea who voted for my books and the cover, but they have my gratitude.
I don’t know when the voting will end or when the winners will be announced.
Again many thanks to organizer Julie Dawson.
Bravissimo! How exciting! (Though not surprising )
Thanks, Dave.
Thanks for the mention, Andrew, and good luck to both of us!
My pleasure, Caddy. The competition is strong, though.
Congrats on the nominations!
I realized there is now a new cover for ‘Castling’ in the style of ‘Pawn Storm’, it looks awesome!
Do you plan on re-working the cover for ‘Gambit’ as well to make them all fit together? :))
Hi Kathi,
Thanks, and yes, I do. In fact I already have it, and I’ll upload it as soon as I have time. It’s a bit of hassle changing the covers for several vendors and on several sites, but I’ll get to it.
Hey Andrew!
I do believe you have a few more votes in your categories…
Congrats, and good luck to you and to the cover artists!
Thanks, Lindy.
I appreciate the support.
