Holy crap, y’all. I just found out that The Once and Future Queen was named Non-fiction Book of the Year by Author’s Circle, the same group that named Camelot’s Queen Fiction Book of the Year last year.
I don’t even know what to do with this. I didn’t even know the book was in the running this year. At the time I sent my ARC (Advanced Reader’s Copy) into the contest, they told me it wouldn’t be in the contest until 2019 because I missed the deadline (through no fault of my own; long story.) I guess they changed their minds.
I can’t even begin to process that this is my third Book of the Year designation. Much less out of five books. I never thought it would happen once…but three times…I don’t even know what to do with that.
As the notification came in, I was finishing the second/third (I’m not sure) draft of Mistress of Legend. No pressure on that one…not at all!
I think I’m supposed to post something all professional and humble when something like this happens. But you’re getting my real, honest-to-God reaction. If you need me, I’ll be on my patio, staring off into space and repeating “Oh my God,” over and over…
Dear Nicole,
Words can’t express how happy I am for you. This is a very well deserved honor and I’m doing a happy dance for you!
Thank you so much, Linda! I am doing the happy dance right there with you! (Has anyone ever told you that you dance marvelously?)
What fabulous news! I’m so excited to see all your hard work pay off. Congratulations!
Thank you! I am on cloud nine today!
That’s awesome. Congratulations!
Thank you!
You’re a rock star!
Aw, thanks!
