My many thanks to Chanticleer Reviews for honoring my novels among their Somerset Prize winners, especially because, though many times a finalist, I’ve never won the grand prize. Let me also give thanks for the help and encouragement they’ve given me and so many aspiring others. If you are a writer and haven’t discovered their website, do take a look at the many services they offer, from reviews to critiques, to forums, to contests, to their annual convention. The last is an invaluable opportunity the talk to and receive advice about marketing your work. It has been worth every penny I’ve spent to be a part of this rapidly growing community.
While I’m at it, let me invite you to take a further look at the books of mine they are honoring, all of which have been through Chanticleer’s reviewing process and contests. You’ll find more information and reviews of them elsewhere on the website and at Amazon.
