When I finish writing something and put it out in the world, it’s often hard for me to conceptualize that people are actually reading it. It’s the same as an author and in my day job as a journalist. The work goes out into this kind of infinite void, and then it’s on to the next project.
So, you might say it’s pretty humbling to learn that not only are people reading my prose, but they actually like it enough to place a gold sticker on the cover!
Last weekend, The Wanderer and the New West won the gold medal for Dystopian fiction in the 2018 Readers’ Favorite Awards. It’s actually the second award for the Wanderer, who earlier this year snared best Western in the National Indie Excellence Awards.
Readers’ Favorite will officially hand out gold medals this November at the Miami Book Fair. I’m planning to attend, and will have a few paperback copies available to purchase at the show. I’m also planning to bring some gift codes for the Kindle edition, so please ask me for one if you see me at the fair!
