SILENCED CRY Receives Honorable Mention at the 2008 NY Book Festival

As the old saying goes, I was sitting in front of my computer last night, typing, minding my own business when I received the exciting news that my debut novel, Silenced Cry, received honorable mention at the 2008 New York Book Festival.

I heard about the contest late last year and although I was excited about submitting my novel, as the deadline drew near, I began to hesitate. After all, what were the odds of getting noticed among how many other entries, right? Anyway, my entry had to be postmarked by Sunday, May 25 – I mailed it on May 23 – nothing like waiting until the last possible minute. LOL
