I am shocked and honored that LADY OF BASILIKAS made the 2025 Realm Awards’ Long List in the Science Fiction category. Totally was not expecting this, so it is a nice treat during a very tough time for our family. I absolutely adore Realm Makers and am so glad to have a place to call “home” as a writer of the weird and extraordinary. Congrats to friends who are also contenders!
Congratulations to all the authors, artists, narrators who are being recognized in this first round of the Realm Awards. A massive hug and cheers to the authors who did not. I’ve been there. It’s unfun. Warrior on! Don’t let this be a tool of the Dark One to keep you from writing and sharing your words with our world and for His glory! Thank you to all the judges who are so generously donating their time to read and decide who moves on. You are invaluable!
