JOURNEY OF SHADOWS and THE WITCH OF ANGMAR are finalists in the Sir Julius Vogel Awards 2014!

Every year, the SFFANZ (Science Fiction and Fantasy Association of New Zealand) hosts the Sir Julius Vogel Awards for New Zealand authors of Science Fiction, Horror and Fantasy. 

This year, two of my works have reached the final ballot for the awards! :-)

Best novel: JOURNEY OF SHADOWS
Best fan writing: THE WITCH OF ANGMAR

   

Exciting times!

Find about the Sir Julius Awards - and take a look at this year's finalists.

I have created a special excerpt of JOURNEY OF SHADOWS - for both voters and readers. This sample is a bit longer longer than the preview you can read on Amazon.

Read the Prologue and Chapters 1-3 of JOURNEY OF SHADOWS.

Read all THE WITCH OF ANGMAR episodes published so far (in PDF format) on my website.

A huge thanks to all of you that sent in nominations for these works - fingers crossed for the judging in April!

Sir Julius Vogel Awards 2014 - voting is open!

I have a wee favour to ask you, my readers.

Every year the SFFANZ (Science Fiction and Fantasy Association of New Zealand) run the Sir Julius Vogel Awards for New Zealand writers of Science Fiction, Fantasy or Horror. 

This year, I have two works I would like to submit!

However, since is a vote-based award, I need your help. 

If you have read, and enjoyed, either JOURNEY OF SHADOWS or my LOTR Fan Fiction THE WITCH OF ANGMAR I would be delighted if you could vote for one (or both!) of these works. 

It's easy to vote - just copy and paste one of the below into an email. The only part you need to fill in is No.9 - which requires your name and email address.

IMPORTANT: If you wish to vote for both, please send separate emails, otherwise neither votes will be counted!

If you do decide to vote for me - THANK YOU! 

Sam
