2015 Kindle Book Awards Semi-Finalist

No long blog post today (not that I do many of those or anything). I just wanted to announce that I found out last week that I am a semi-finalist in the 2015 Kindle Book Awards in the Suspense/Horror category. It was unexpected, and I am proud to be in contention with so many other talented authors. It's inspiring, but also funny to think that this started out as a hobby that I never thought would amount to much. Thanks to everyone who assured me Cicada Spring wasn't crap when I was certain it was. Next update on this will be September 1st when I find if I made it to the finals. Fingers crossed.

    1. Thank you. That's something a writer never gets tired of hearing. The last thing I read in one day was a Chinese take-out menu.

  4. Same here! Couldn't put it down & am anxiously awaiting a sequel. Really, a great book, and I probably read at least 300 novels a year. (And I work full-time, but I would much rather read a good book than eat, sleep our watch TV/Movies)! -Cyndi Whedon

    1. I wish I could edit this. Obviously, "our" means "or".
