\"\"I’m very excited to announce that\u00a0Silversong<\/em> was a finalist in the Fantasy category of the Next Generation Indie Book Awards<\/strong>. Whoot!<\/p>\n

That means I will get some spiffy stickers just like this one *points to the left* to put on the book covers\u00a0and<\/em> a medal. The only other medal I have is a participation medal I got ten years ago for managing to run 5km without dying. This one can chill out with it. They can be BFFs \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I joke, but mostly because I don’t know what else to say to fill this space, ya know? But I\u00a0am<\/em> excited that the book was a finalist and it’s going to feel good to put those stickers on the cover and find a really fun place to put the medal.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t read\u00a0Silversong\u00a0<\/em>yet, maybe ask your library to order it in or you can pick it up here:<\/p>\n

I am actively boycotting billionaires so this book will never be available on Amazon. Sorry.<\/p>\n
