Happy to report that ONE FOR THE ARK was named a finalist in the International Book Awards for General Fiction, sponsored by the American Book Fest. I enter contests in hopes that an agent/major publisher will notice, and to be able to offer this kind of “endorsement” to my indie-published works. I lose more than I win, but it’s always nice to be recognized. ONE FOR THE ARK was also a finalist for the Foreword Reviews Book of the Year Awards for indie and small-publisher works.
