I found out yesterday that Thief of Hope is one of three finalists in the fantasy category for the EPIC ebook awards! I am thrilled and a bit surprised because I never expected to get that far. The first contest I’ve entered the book into and I’m a finalist! Winners will be announced in March 2012. At least that gives me plenty of time to forget about it. Being a finalist is quite an honor in itself.
Not to mention, Crescent Moon Press is well represented among the finalists. Rachel Firasek’s Piper’s Fury is a paranormal finalist and Berinn Rae’s Knightfall is a fantasy romance finalist!

Cindy, I am so proud of you! I am new to the game of being an almost published writer (fellow Crescent Moon Press author) and didn’t even know about the EPIC, but now I do–did my research–googled it, read up on it, and your name flashed up on my screen as a finalist. WOW!!! Fingers will be crossed from now until March that you win this very coveted contest/award. If my book does half as good as yours, I’ll be floating on the clouds. Congrats, congrats Kate
Thanks so much, Kate! I’m still shocked by it but oh so excited! I can’t wait to read your book when it comes out. CMP authors rock! And make sure you enter the EPIC contest next year!
