Blood of Elves extract and Gemmell Award photos

If you fancy a taste of the novel that won the first Gemmell Award, Andrzej Sapkowski's Blood of Elves, then you can check out an extract here. I've only read a few pages, but straight away you can sense a certain Gemmell-esque feel to the writing, so perhaps this book was a worthy winner.

Photos of the event have started to pop up in various places across the interwebs, but the best selection can be found here.

Christ, the picture they got of me talking to Simon Spanton is not a good one :-(

Nonsense, Sir. You look very dapper in your suit and bowtie. Although admittedly you are wearing the expression of a 5-year-old who has just been told Santa isn't real.

I was asking if there was any news about the new Scott Lynch book. Apparently not...

I made a half-hearted attempt to probe Jon from Gollancz on the matter a few weeks back, but he didn't give anything away - I think they're well drilled on that one! ;-)
