It’s been an amazing week! God has totally blown my socks off with so many unexpected blessings, I feel like I’m trying to drink from a fire hydrant! I’d like to share these blessings with you:

1.) Firethorn won the 2013 Selah Award (Fiction – Suspense) from the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writer’s Conference with–get this–a PERFECT SCORE! At the award dinner, I was so blessed to have my in-laws and three of my children with me.

2.) Yesterday, I received word from the Faith, Hope, & Love Inspirational Reader’s Choice Award that TRINITY: MILITARY WAR DOG is a finalist in the Romantic Suspense category! I am over the moon with this for Trinity. I already consider it a win because this is putting MWDs in front of an even larger audience, and that was my goal with that book–to bring an awareness of a really cool element within the military establishment.

3.) I wanted to make a note here about the Christian Fiction Scavenger Hunt. JANET BARNES was chosen as the winner, and I replied to her comment on the post, but there’s no way for me to contact her. If she does not reply by Sunday evening, I will choose a new winner for the 4-book giveaway of the Discarded Heroes! It’s so imperative when you enter a contest that you leave a way for the coordinator to contact you. Rafflecopter totally glitched out on me, so I had to do this by “hand.”

Thanks for celebrating with me and with Janet! I love doing giveaways, so make sure you stay tuned, here and on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/rapidfirefiction
