Go nominate your favorite stuff in the Dragon Awards!

DANG, Y’ALL! It’s already Dragon Awards season! 😮

You’ve got until July 19th to nominate your favorite stuff – and you totally should, because it’s 100% fan-driven, which means YOU are the ones who control who wins. ☺️

If you’re not familiar with the Dragon Awards:

They’re bestowed by Dragon Con, one of the biggest cons in the US. Titles released between July 1, 2023 and June 30th, 2024 qualify for this year.

NOTE: You can only nominate a title in one category; if you nominate it in more than one, neither counts (which is why you’ll often see authors telling readers to nominate books in specific categories).

BEST FANTASY NOVEL:

• I Power Up with Every Monster Girl I Defeat! (Monster Girl Tamer #1) by Edie Skye and H.P. Holo

*Is it actually the best fantasy novel we’ve written this year? No, that’s Blood Knight: Vampire Slayer, but I think it’d be hilarious to be nominated alongside all the Vry Serious Fantasy.

BEST ILLUSTRATIVE BOOK COVER:

• Blood Knight: Vampire Slayer (book by Edie Skye, cover art by Yanai)

Now, GO FORTH AND VOTE! 😄
