Wow! I am so excited. This means that I have managed to make my way through the first selection process (from the 5,000 entries received) to the Semi-Final stage (supposedly a maximum of 1,000 entries). Now, with the help of family and friends (and readers around the world!) I cannot wait to see what happens next. I will keep everyone in the loop (up to date) as more news comes to hand.
Please, follow the link and download my novel excerpt – I think you’ll enjoy it immensely!
