clive staples sealRealm Makers is excited to announce the books that came out on top after the readers’ choice semi-final round for the Clive Staples Award for Christian Speculative fiction.

The following three books have advanced to the final round:

Reapers by Bryan Davis

The Seventh Door by Bryan Davis

The Warden And The Wolf King by Andrew Peterson

A panel of judges will independently score these books on their merit. The book that garners the highest point total from the judges will receive a prize of a commemorative plaque and $250 cash. Realm Makers is excited to sponsor this award that represents a cross section of both readers’ preference and professional artistic evaluation.

We commend every author whose books appeared in the semi-final round, as all the books involved had a healthy showing of votes, and the outpouring of reader interest truly spoke to the way even brand new authors are reaching their readers and garnering their loyal support.

Best of luck to Mr. Davis and Mr. Peterson. We look forward to announcing the recipient of the 2015 Clive Staples Award at the Quill Pen Editorial Awards Dinner, to take place on August 7, 2015, at this year’s Realm Makers conference.

Three Books Lineup

 

Rebecca P. Minor can't help but tell stories, whether that's in the form of animation, illustration, novels, or really long retellings of weird things that happened when she was a carriage driver. Her favorite stories, however, involve dragons, elves, sword fights, and magic, all of which you'll find in her two fantasy series, The Windrider Saga and The Risen Age Archive. Rebecca is also the cofounder of Realm Makers, an annual symposium for people of faith who write science fiction and fantasy. Rebecca resides outside Philadelphia, PA with her husband and three sons, who have all happily bought into the geek pool alongside her.
