I am so thrilled to announce that my novel Three Empty Frames has won an award!
After making some revisions to this first Bucks County Novel, I submitted it to The Writer’s Digest E-book Awards. I was informed on Thursday, December 22, that it won FIRST PRIZE (!!!!!!!) in the Mainstream Fiction category!
What does this mean? Besides a nice cash prize, the magazine will promote the book for me, which is even more valuable in my opinion. Best of all, the fact that the book was recognized by a group of writing professionals as being worthy of this award is just the absolute best validation an aspiring author could get. The official announcement in Writer’s Digest will be published in a forthcoming issue of the magazine, so more on that when it comes out!
Wonderful! You have put so much of your heart & soul into this. I know you are busting your buttons!!

Thank you! I’m not sure which issue it will be in… I just got the February issue today and it’s not in that one. But the e-mail said to give them up to 60 days to process the cash prize, so maybe in one of the spring issues? Anyway, I can’t wait to see it too! Woo hoo! 😅
