Hi Deborah, Thanks for the feedback! And yes, a 'lens' is essentially a page created in Squidoo.com. It is a page where you create a "focus" of your favourite topic, knowledge, collection of links etc. As I've stated in my profile page, I was una...
 

WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE FOR 'DAVID GEMMELL LEGEND AWARD FOR FANTASY!'

The DGLA will be presented for the very first time in 2009 for the best Fantasy novel of 2008. The award will be given to a work written in the 'spirit' of the late, great David Gemmell, a true Master of Heroic Fantasy.

And, we want YOU - the readers who love the genre to VOTE to decide who makes the Short-list! Just scroll down this page and click on the poll to vote for the book you enjoyed the most in 2008.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIGN UP TO VOTE!

BUT, if you'd like to create a Member page it is FREE and takes only 5 minutes.

If you become a Member the DGLA will send you occasional Bulletins to let you know how the Awards - and the plans for the Award Ceremony - are progressing. (Although, if you would rather NOT receive any Bulletins, just click the box in your Privacy preferences and we won't email you!)

Also, Members can post in the FORUMS, where you can discuss the Nominated books to your heart's content. AND, one lucky Member will be chosen at random to WIN A SIGNED COPY OF ALL THE BOOKS ON THE SHORTLIST!

But it's entirely up to you - we appreciate the time you've already spent to come here and read this - so, if you would like to just VOTE and leave the site, we entirely understand. Rest assured your vote is important and WILL still be counted.

HOW TO VOTE - IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ FIRST

VOTE HERE!
