Congratulations, semi-finalists!
Congratulations to everyone who participated. Don’t be sorry that you didn’t make it, at least you tried. And a special greeting to the semi-finalists. Good luck for the next round.
Wow! I am thrilled and honored that No Perfect Fate made semi-finalist in romance among so many fabulous authors. The array of books in romance category is spectacular. I have read many of the books and the stories are wonderful. There isn’t single title that I would rail against being named Finalist and Winner. The books are all that good and several are on my Fav list and have been read twice over. Congratulations to all semi-finalists!
Congratulations, Jackie. This is awesome 🙂
Congrats, Semi-finalists! This was the best field we’ve had in 4 years. So many talented authors. Many had a score of 9, or 9+ but still didn’t make it into the top-20. Wish we could add another 200 semi-finalists, but alas we have to draw the line somewhere. In case you’re wondering, we ONLY link the books once they make it into the top 5 (Finalists). If you want to see the books at Amazon, just copy and paste and search.
I’m so honored to be a semi-finalist. Congrats to all!
