A SUDDEN GIFT OF FATE has just made it through the first round — the story pitch — in Amazon’s Breakthrough Novel Award. WOW! The novel joins 1,999 other works selected from a pool of 10,000 entries.
In the second round of judging, Amazon editors and Amazon Vine Reviewers will be reading an excerpt of the novel (roughly the first 5,000 words). They’ll narrow the field down to 500 quarterfinalists to be announced around March 23.
This moment is HUGE. Last year when I entered THE TERMINAL DINER in the contest, it failed at the pitch stage. That was so frustrating because no one read a word of my work. Not this year, buíochas le Dia!
So say a few prayers, light a candle or raise a glass of Finger Lakes wine and send good thoughts toward my novel.
Hurray! CreateSpace, the publisher of my books, has just offered a new option in which they can be distributed to indie and chain bookstores, academic organizations and libraries across the country! Woo-hoo!!! This means someone living on the West Coast can pop into a local bookstore and order my books! This is wonderful news!
I signed up both my books, but they might take six weeks to be available for national distribution. I’ll let you know when this great new feature goes live.
Just uploaded the manuscript. Cover next, then break out the bottle of Dr. Frank Cèlebré!
