EPIC Award Winner 2011 - Sunset on Ramree


On Saturday 12th March, at Williamsburg, Virginia, Epicon announced Sunset on Ramree as the 2011 EPIC Award winner for Best Historical Fiction!! Fabulous news and a great honour. The Eppie is the highest accolade for a digitally published book. It's not only the first time I've won one, it's also the first for my publisher, Eternal Press. A special thank you to all my readers who've emailed to let me know how much they enjoyed the story. For those who haven't yet had the chance, you can learn more about history's deadliest crocodile attack here!

Best,
Robert

2011 EPIC Award Finalist!


No, make that a double...EPIC Award finalist. Amazingly, both my entries made the shortlist for the big prize this year in their respective categories. My WW2 crocodile attack thriller Sunset on Ramree hit the spot in Historical Fiction, while Charlie Runs Rings Around the Earth scored a nomination for Science Fiction. How pleased am I?

Epically!

Wish me luck in the finals, announced at the ceremony in Virginia, March 2011. EPIC celebrates the best in digital publishing from around the world each year, and the "Eppie" award is regarded as the top prize for eBooks. I hope you'll join me in a glass or two of cyber bubbly.

Best,

Robert
