Some years you say to yourself, “Sweet! George hasn’t published a book, and Neil hasn’t published a book! Maybe I’ve got a…” and then you see the paranormal fantasy and the fantasy genres have been collapsed into one, and now you’re listed not only among Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, Mark Lawrence, but also Jim Butcher, Patricia Briggs, Ilona Andrews, and… you just stop reading at that point, because why bother?
On the other hand, I have to say being listed among all these great writers is hugely thrilling and quite an honor. It’s pretty awesome to be mentioned in the same breath with these fantasy greats. So if you want to get a list of great fantasy books to read, click over HERE. And if St. Jude — patron saint of lost causes — is your guy, maybe you can even throw out a vote for me. 😉
I would like to imagine that there was at one point two separate categories for fantasy and paranormal thriller but then it was some guys job to sort out which titles go where and it became too convoluted once you bring in the books with time travel so they just kind of mashed them together and hoped no one would notice.

You have all my votes mate. Love your work and the worlds you create have been fantastic and enthralling.
Consider yourself one of the greats, because your stories have sucked me in more than anything else I have read in a long, long time.
