I don’t usually enter competitions, but I decided it wouldn’t hurt to submit one book from both of my genres. I decided on Abigail Returns and The Fairy in the Kettle Gets Magical, and then I pretty much forgot about it.

So, you can imagine how blown away I was when I got the email telling me I’d been named as a finalist! It was such a surprise, and this is the feedback I received that encompasses both genres…

As you can imagine, this feedback means the world to me. I write what I love, and it’s given me a huge boost as I prepare for 2025.
