I am absolutely thrilled to announce that my debut novel, “Fire at Midnight,” has won the Gold Medal for Romance in the Independent Publisher Book Awards (“IPPY”) which recognize the best Indie published books of the year. Launched in 1996, the Independent Publisher Book Awards is among the world’s largest and most recognized book awards contest events in the world. Open exclusively to independents, the "IPPYs" recognize the year's best books and bring them to the attention of booksellers, buyers, librarians, and book lovers.
According to the event organizers, “entries into this year's 14th annual Independent Publisher Book Awards saw a dramatic increase in quality and diversity – and the writing and publishing exhibited great commitment and passion.”
Medalists will be honored at a gala awards ceremony in New York on May 25th during Book Expo America.

Recognition is a lovely by-product. A wonderful validation and opportunity for humility.
Congrats again!
Don,
You are so right! One should never lose sight of the fact that there is an element of luck involved in winning any award. I'm grateful, encouraged, and humbled all at the same time.
