Best News all Weekend - Kept Tears is a Rainbow Awards Finalist.

[jana_denardo]

Remember when I said I was thrilled to learn Kept Tears got an honorable mention in the the Rainbow awards and if the novel didn't move any further, I'd be happy?

Well Kept Tears is now a Finalist in Gay paranormal romance! I might have hurt something dancing around here. This is even better than the arrival of the fall temperatures yesterday (but that was really sweet).

I admit it. I went into this not expecting much not because I thought my story wasn't good but rather because I just don't have a lot of luck with things like this. This is my first novel. People are still finding their way to me and that's the really important thing. I think in some ways this has flown under the radar a bit, in spite of my efforts. Who knows maybe it'll get a little more notice now.

Do I expect to win? I have so much competition, I would be stunned. Sure I hope I will but I'm prepared for not. I really am just so thrilled to have gotten this far. I looked at the competition. I know most of the names. I've read several of these books and they're good, like Kim Fielding's Motel. Pool.. Speaking of which Ms Fielding will be on my blog in a week or so with her new stuff so be on the lookout for that.


If you haven't taken a chance on Aaron and Rhys and want to see what a fae and a disabled vet can get up to in the great city of Pittsburgh, check it out here. ebook & paperback And the ebook is even on sale!

If you want to talk to me, I'll be sitting here grinning.

Thanks so much. Those are great gifs! I'm not sure I've ever seen a schnauser that excited.

And Hugh makes everything better (Ed and Winry sure help)

I'm going to sit here, drink tea and watch those hips until the next plotline comes to me. pun intended

Isn't that Schnauzer great? She reminds me of Pewter, when Pewter would try to get anyone to play with her.

Hugh is very good at making everything better with them waggly hips of his.

Hahahaha, I want credit.

Thanks so much.

I appreciate the support and don't worry I understand ALL about lack of funds, crap health and frankly no damn time to do squat. And for that matter, helping friends with their drafts!

I hope you enjoy it. I agree (this publishing house put out a couple books with disabled characters this year that I know of). I had help beyond my own training too. havocmangawip is studying to work disabled clients as well and she was a sounding board for me
