For those who don’t know about SPFBO (the Self Published Fantasy Blog Off) – this is a competition created and run by Mark Lawrence.  The competition is now in its tenth year and you can find more about all the other entrants and judges over on Mark Lawrence’s blog.

The Critiquing Chemist and I have now completed all our reading for Stage 1 of the competition and are ready to announce our finalist.  I’m not going to drag this out, I intend to post a wrap up soon so, with that in mind, lets get straight to our chosen finalist.
