ABNA Semi-Finals

Well the Semi-Final lists are up for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award but my YA book The Jericho Effect is no longer in the running. I'm a little disappointed but I think with some more editing I can eventually sell The Jericho Effect to a publisher or agent. Guess it's time to get back to work. I'm not going to give up on it, it's a great story after all. At least through the contest I got a little publicity, a few good reader reviews and a Publisher's Weekly review. Amazon also informed me that all Quarterfinalist excerpts will be available as free Kindle downloads until the end of June.

  1. That is good to know. Sometimes I do wish I had an e-reader, though I don't know if I'd go for the Kindle or B&N's Nook.

  2. And I just realized that I'm following you under a different name...and I don't know how to get into my "writermaniac" account. Oh dear.
    Let us know what else you're up to!

  3. It's okay Wren, I forgive you! You can follow me under both names for all I care. Right now I'm just trying to decide which idea is good enough to make my next big project. I'm hoping to do some more serious writing this summer, but we'll see what happens.

  5. I figured it out! I'm Wren with one email address and writermaniac with the other. One comments, the other follows your blog. Same person.
