I’m so proud of the NCPA Book Awards for the first two novels of my “Enter the Between” Visionary Fiction Series, Between Will and Surrender (First place 2016) and Between Darkness and Dawn (Second place 2018).
For those of you who have purchased and “liked” my books, I would be thrilled with an Amazon Review.
Authors write, research, write, edit, and then edit some more, but, besides receiving a contest award once in a while, we don’t often get feedback on what readers think of our work.
You couldn’t do an author a greater favor than to share your thoughts on Amazon!
Congratulations, Winners of the 2018 NCPA Book Awards!
