Gemmell me this and that
It just so happens that today is the final deadline for the David Gemmell Legend Award, so you might want to put your vote in over here. I’ve no idea who’s on the list. Oh, look, I am. On one of my favourite genre blogs, Pornokitsch, Jared has been going over the various shortlists and has some interesting opinions upon them.
I’ve also contributed a story to an anthology in honour of Mr. Gemmell which should be launching at the award ceremony at the end of October. More on that from the editor, Ian Whates, over here.

Russia

Wonderbooks! Cheltenham! Interviews!
