It's been an exciting several months. Not only in my personal life, but also in my author life. First came the announcement last September that Storm at Keizer Manor won a bronze medal in the 2018 Readers' Favorite Book Awards Contest, in Women's Fiction. I couldn't believe it. I was now able to call myself an award winning author. What an honor.

And then, last week, came the second announcement. Storm at Keizer Manor was honored as an Award-Winning Finalist in the Fiction Romance category of the 2018 Best Book Awards sponsored by American Book Fest.

This is my debut novel and I couldn't be more excited and thankful. Yippee!!!
