Hooray! A Review From Writer's Digest

Hello Readers!

And Happy New Year to you! We hope your holiday was blessed and bright. Ours was full of family and food, just how we like it. Watching the little ones open presents on Christmas morning is so satisfying and fun. 

Should old acquaintance be forgot...

Over the holiday we had a small hiccup with our latest novel. Nothing major, but it will delay the release that we were hoping would happen in January to probably February. A setback of a couple weeks; we'll be fine. After a couple years of writing and editing, a few weeks is doable. 

On the plus side, over the holiday we also got a review of Ascension: Kelahya Unbound from Writer's Digest. Ascension is our previous novel, a space opera set in the distant future. 

For context, we submitted our novel to the Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards. Books are assigned at random to one of the category's judges. The judges then review the entries. 

Here's what came back to us: 

This book is exemplary in its structure, organization, and pacing. 

It is unique but still has strong appeal for most readers in its intended genre.

All the main characters are fully fleshed out with compelling, layered motivations and traits. 

Kelahya is a strong female lead. Readers will love Kelahya and her journey of self-discovery. Figuring out throughout the story who is good or bad will keep readers intrigued and committed to learning the truth. It kept me turning the pages! 

-Judge, 31st Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards

Woohoo! We'll take it! Thanks, judge.
