Wow, what just happened?!
This Monday turned out to be a day to remember. My book, Amid the Ashes, won in the Short Contemporary category at the Faith Hope and Love Reader’s Choice Awards!
I went to the awards at half past midnight UK time, thinking I’d just clap for my fellow authors and soak in the inspiration. Then, they called my book as the winner! I was totally floored—shocked, humbled, and over the moon happy. At that moment, I was too stunned to say much, so here are the thank yous I couldn’t manage then.
A huge thank you to Faith, Hope, & Love Christian Writers for their amazing work in supporting authors and lifting up romantic fiction written from a Christian worldview.
Thanks to all the readers who pored over so many fantastic entries. Choosing must have been a tough job from such a talented pool.
Big love to my critique partners who were there for every brainstorm and every “what-if” that helped weave this story. And to my incredible readers—your support means the world to me and then some.
Above everything, I thank God, because without Him, none of this would make sense or even be possible.
Here’s to more stories, more love, and more grace. Thank you, everyone!
