[…] This fall, The Watcher won the “Paranormal Grand Prize” at the Chanticleer Paranormal Awards for supernatural fiction, sponsored by Chanticleer Reviews. […]
Since winning this category, I’ve had all book covers changed to include that I’m an Award-Winning Author and am very proud of the recognition the contest has given me. It carries weight with readers to have that blue ribbon for a book you’re asking them to buy. I’m grateful I entered the contest and especially happy that someone liked my book this much.
