Come Back Early Today has just won a fourth award. It is a finalist in the Indie Excellence Awards, for independently published books. This award is added to the list of three other awards: The Santa Fe Writers Project Literary Awards, The Eric Hoffer Awards (for first-time authors), and the Peoples Choice awards.
When I wrote the book I didn’t expect to win anything, so this is very gratifying!
I am very humbled by the fact that Come Back Early Today has become an award-winning book that has placed four times in three writing competitions.
It is a Santa Fe Writers Project Literary Awards finalist and an Eric Hoffer First Horizons Award finalist. The First Horizons award is for first-time authors.
More recently I excerpted two stories from the book and rewrote them to be stand-alone pieces, then I submitted both of them the Writers-Editors Network International Writing Competition. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that both stories were given honorable mention status!
