Book Cover: (Semi-Finalists are in no particular order)
I am a very proud friend of an extraordinary woman who wrote a beautiful inciteful book about her recovery from sexual abuse. It’s called “Thriving After Sexual Abuse”. Denise Bossarte is truly a rennisance woman of many talents. I expect another book might be coming in time. CONGRATS DENISE FOR YOUR GRACE AND BRAVERY!!
Thank you, readers and judges, for making West of Famous a semi-finalist!
Thank you, judges! I’m thrilled I AM MAYHEM made the semi-finals! Congrats to all the semi-finalists. 🙂
Thank you judges for selecting Still Breathing as a semi-finalist. I’m so pleased my characters got to live again in your minds while you read. It means the world to me to have my book recognized. I hope it is chosen to go on and compete as a finalist but even if it doesn’t I am gratified to have made it this far.
