Today I’m announcing my finalist for the Self Published Fantasy Blog Off. 300 self published books, ten bloggers, one winner. Brainchild of Mark Lawrence the SPFBO is in it’s third year and is going strong.

This year I’ve found it difficult to make a choice. I had four books that were competing equally for my attention. I’ve read and reviewed them and even been back and reread the beginning of each book over again to try and help choose a winner. The four books in question (with links to the reviews) are:

Jack Bloodfist: Fixer by James Jakins

Today is Too Late by Burke Fitzpatrick

Empire of the Dead by Phil Tucker

The Archbishop’s Amulet by Watson Davis

I will say that having more than one book tied neck and neck is downright not good. I hate having to choose between them but that’s the deal.

There can be only one

My winner is: Jack Bloodfist: Fixer by James Jakins

I liked all four of the above books for different reasons and I would definitely continue reading future books from all four authors. What really stood out for me with Jack Bloodfist was the fun I had reading it and I hope the other bloggers enjoy it as much as I did.

I would just like to say a huge thanks to all the authors who took part. Putting your work out for such scrutiny and potential criticism must be difficult and I applaud you all. Thank you. 😀
