You may have already seen this on social media, but I’m proud to announce:

Daughter of Destiny took First Place in the Legacy/Legend category of the Chatelaine Award for Women’s/Romantic Fiction (it was moved to that award from the Chaucer Award).

Madame Presidentess took First Place in the Women’s US History category of the Chaucer Award for Historical Fiction.

Now both books will compete with other first place in category winners for the overall Chaucer and Chatelaine Grand Prize Awards. If one or both win their grand prize award, they will compete with the other grand prizes in each genre to be named Book of the Year.

Those results will be announced at the 2016 Chanticleer Author’s Conference and Awards Gala on April 30 in Bellingham, Washington.  I’ll be there in person, so I’ll let you know more once I know… Cross your fingers!
