They need to have registered voters to choose a short list and then a panel to select the winner (or vice versa).

There are also too many simply boring and longish books and the first book wasn't much more than a Tolkien ripoff either.<br /><br />The tragedy is that Paul Kearney still did not win a Gemmell Award. Sanderson is great, but he is not much like Gemmell. Kearney is probably the author closest to Gemmell that we have today. He is good and notoriously underrated. :(Longaschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14315739202508784897noreply@blogger.com
