The Six Train to Wisconsin won the bronze for paranormal in Readers’ Favorite International Book Awards!
Big thank you to Carrie Rubin who won the silver last year for her book, Seneca Scourge, and introduced me to this fantastic contest.
This is one of the coolest contests Six Train has been in. Because it won, copies of my book will be for sale in the Readers’ Favorite tent at the Miami Book Fair. That’s amazing discoverability!
An awards ceremony will be held in Miami during the book fair weekend for all the Readers’ Favorite winners and we will be given our medals on stage.
It’s the first time I’ve been recognized for my writing with an actual award and ceremony.
So yes, I am going to Miami in November!
I plan to spend Friday and Saturday (Nov 21 and 22) at the book fair attending panels and perusing the tents. Friday night there is going to be an networking event for Readers’ Favorite authors. Then Saturday night, I will be at the Readers’ Favorite ceremony.
Wow… Congratulations Kourtney that is marvellous news.. Enjoy your trip too in November.. Sending a Hug.. or even Two 🙂 xxx (( Hugs ))
