Awen Rising is in SPFBO 8!

Awen Rising is officially entered in SPFBO 8! 

Read Awen Rising

"What is that," you ask?

Good question. It stands for Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off. 

2022 is SPFBO's eighth year and as the title implies, it is open to self-published fantasy books (stand-alone or first in series). The competition lasts for a year with the final winner chosen from a field (this year) of 300 fantasy books. And mine is one, yippeeeee!

Now, I am praying that the blogger/reviewer who is assigned Awen Rising will love it enough to read it cover to cover and recommend it to the other nine blogger/reviewers for the final round.

Here's hoping!

Your prayers, well-wishes, good thoughts, positive juju - ALL are welcome. I will keep you apprised of the progress as I learn more details.

Happy Weekend!
