World Fantasy Awards and David Gemmell Awards: 2013 Winners

This past weekend The World Fantasy Convention took place in Brighton, UK, where The Gemmell Awards and the World Fantasy Awards were announced. One of our co-hosts, Moses Siregar III, attended and will have a few interviews to share for our podcast in the upcoming month or so: authors, Tad Williams and  John Gwynne (recent winner of the 2013 Morningstar Award), and literary agent, Barry Goldblatt.

First, the David Gemmell Awards for Fantasy. (You may remember our post with all the nominees, a strong cast that excites me for Fantasy’s future.)
