Did not make the finals

The Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award for 2013 is over--for me anyways. I made it as far of the semi-finals but was not one of the five finalists. However, I don't see this as a loss because I am beyond surprised that Beast went as far as it did. It's a great story, but it is still a story in the IR genre and that is far from mainstream. Ahh, maybe next year. I'll keep writing IR stories (God willing) and one day we will shatter that glass ceiling!

Thank you all for the help, feedback and support. You are the best!

  2. Its fantastic that you made the semis. Next time. You still have a strong following and your stories are amazing and unlike anything else out there. in the words of Curtis Mayfield 'keep on keeping on'. Looking forward to your next offering.

  4. I just wanted to say that your work speaks for itself. I've recently started reading IR romances and I've tried so many authors and I've found(so far) only two that write a great IR romance, you being one of them.Whenever I see your name on a book I don't doubt it will be good. I only have that confidence with you and another IR writer. You are an amazing writer and I hope you continue to write so we can enjoy your wonderful work. I literally spend hours at a time reading your books because they are that good.

    Beast is one of the BEST romance novels I've read. It was the first book that I read written by you and it deserves the 5 star rating on Amazon. I wish you would have gone all the way but I'm glad you made it as far as you did. There are so many writers out there, but your novels are unique and I'm amazed every time I read something from you.

  5. You won cuz you were there as far as I am concerned. Hell how many others can truly say that? As your buddy it is my duty to inform you that no matter what someone says at Amazon, you are the shit and that's all that matters! Rock on mami and let's see you make a bigger splash with the next book and a bigger impact than anyone can hope for. As always, your buddy, The Creepyr!!


    PS did I mention you're the bomb?

    1. Beast was the best book I've ever read and I read A LOT of romance novels. I also rated it on Amazon with 5 stars. People will recognize your talent and I will continue to recommend your books to people. You're my new favorite author!!!

  7. You are one of the best authors that I have ever read. Your characters have more depth because they are "uncommonly common". It is heard to award something that does not fit in a box. I can not wait until your next IR project.
