Congratulations Jana!!! Somehow I am not surprised though, you are extradinarily talented and Sojourne is such a fine novel! Just to ley you know, I am thoroughly enjoying your story "The Word of Zed", it is delightful and clever. You will hear from me soon.
I was very thrilled about this one! It's a serious nod toward my publisher, Gwen Gades, who showcases new authors, giving them the publisher & editorial support they need to create good and innovative books. Dragon Moon Press' authors consistently are finalists in national competitions. I'm glad to bring home the Gold for DMP.
"The Word of Zed" was a stretch for this novelist, but I really liked the characters and Melissa's synopsis. Looking forward to your input. Teacup hedgehogs... what have I been smoking?
Congrats on teh gold medal!
