The Silence of Sorrowful Hours is in the mix for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. It's a complicated submission process, and there are several levels it must "pass" to get to the final stage of judging. I'm praying I'll make it all the way. I'll let you know, of course!
Preparing all the parts of the submission was daunting. Waiting until the contest opened - literally watching the computer screen as it counted down to one minute past midnight Eastern time - was hair-raising. I wanted a shot of bourbon and I can't stand the taste of it!
It was important to be among the first to submit because it's an international contest for English-language novels and they only accept the first 5,000 entries.
I won't know if "Silence" has made it to the second stage until February 24th. Glad I have a stack of valium on hand. :-)
