Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award - A Semi-Finalist
I’m so excited! 
I just got word that my manuscript The Keeper of the Sparrows–the first story in the Broken Sparrows series–has been chosen as a semi-finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest.
Of more than 5,000 novels submitted, 836 were chosen to move on to the semi-finals round. More about the contest appears at: http://newsticker.welt.de/index.php?channel=fin&module=smarthouse&id=660078.
For the next few weeks, Amazon customers will be able to download excerpts from the semi-finalist novels and provide reviews. To find out more, visit: http://www.amazon.com/abna.
There are lots of great stories there.
