David Gemmell Awards shortlist

Back in June, I posted the longlist for the David Gemmell Legend Awards for Fantasy and it's now time to present the shortlist. Hopefully, my votes in the longlist for Mark Lawrence's King of Thorns for the Legend, Miles Cameron's The Red Knight for the Morningstar and Didier Graffet and Dave Senior for the cover of Red Country by Joe Abercrombie for the Ravenheart are still possible!!!

Go vote, it's only three clicks!  Now! :)
