Even though I’ve bragged all over Facebook and Twitter I thought I’d do a little bragging here as well.
The reason is that my memoir Leaving the Hall Light On is a finalist in the memoir, autobiography, biography category of the Independent Author Network’s book-of-the-year award.
And I’ve never been a finalist before. I’ll know the outcome on August 15; however, being a finalist is all good as far as I’m concerned. The whole idea for submitting my book was to get it out there some more. So many people have told me how much they’ve benefitted from reading it that I’m always looking for ways to inspire more people to read it. Take a look yourselves. There’s a sample on the right sidebar of this blog.
Otherwise, my August has started with a bang. I’m back at my consulting job for one more month, and then I’ll be free to go back to my full-time writing life. I can’t wait. I also look forward to this job being finished so I can tell you what more I’ve learned about writing and editing in the technical world. It’s really a trip.
Please stay tuned.
So happy for you, Madeline! Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement.What a thrill!
Thanks so much, Kathy. It is very thrilling. I’ll keep you posted on final results. xo
