“Takers” Wins 2012 Global Ebooks Award!

20 August, 2012 (21:26) | Plotfish Press, Takers by Chris Davis, Urban Fantasy | By: Jaimi Sorrell

We at Plotfish Press were thrilled to get the news this weekend that our author Chris Davis’s first novel, “Takers,” has won its category – “Speculative Fiction – Contemporary Fantasy (set after 1940)” – in the 2012 Global Ebooks Awards. The ceremony was held in Santa Barbara, California on Saturday night. Congratulations, Chris, and Go “Takers!”

We are very proud of Chris for this well-deserved win! We’re also celebrating it as a very good omen for the future of Plotfish Press, since “Takers” was also the first book out of the gate for our publishing company!

“Takers” is the story of LAPD Police Detective Kel Langston, a loner who specializes in hunting serial killers until one night he becomes a victim himself. He survives – only to find out he’s been turned into a monster, stuck halfway between the living and the dead. And now Kel’s hunting Takers, a kind of vampire humans don’t even know exist – and don’t know how to kill. Because with Takers, your blood is only the beginning…

The Global Ebook Awards are run by Dan Poynter, owner of Para Publishing. Dan is often referred to as the “Father of Independent Publishing” and “The Book Futurist.” He has been a publisher since 1969, and has championed ebooks since the very beginning. He is also the author of more than 125 books, his seminars have been featured on CNN and his books have been reported on in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times. Jack Canfield, co-author of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series, credits consulting with Dan Poynter in the early stages of the series’ development as an essential ingredient of their phenomenal success.

The entries for this competition came from 16 different countries.

“Takers” and its sequel, “Takers II: Family” are both currently available as ebooks on Amazon.com and Smashwords.com. Don’t forget to leave a review!

“Takers III” vamps out in November, so stay tuned!
