I voted for The Dread Wyrm by Miles Cameron for best novel.

Good choice...by which I mean, of course, that I really enjoyed it as well.

This is a choice, I'll have to brood on...I've read about ten on list. But almost certainly will end up voting for "Fool's Quest" by Robin Hobb. Think her last two books have seen a return to top form by a favourite author...I rate her last two as "wonderful".

You'd think they'd have an easier way to see the Ravenheart nominees

I know. I hate that they don't offer pictures right there. I really don't know which version of the cover they are referring to. It is not like the book cover has the name of the artist on it. I just can't remember all those names. Does anyone know if someone has put a picture/list together?

If you click on the Ravenheart tab along the top it takes you to the long list with hyperlinks to the books..........but they're on individual pages so you have A LOT of links to click through to see the covers.

Not my site or my doing, but I did tweet a plea for someone to get the covers in an easy to view format and Agnes rose to the challenge!

(It's a site that focuses on my books - the name was inspired by GRRM who apparently said to Agnes when she mentioned my name 'That thorn-guy?'.

 

[Hobbit]

Apologies, Mark: I misread the site. But thanks to Agnes for doing the hard work.

Prediction based on having received an email from The Black Library telling me to vote for there nominees on the shortlist....They win.

It would be interesting to see the email. I suspect they have a huge mailing list. Can you post it here?
