I’ve been delighted by the results of “book award season” for Pilgrim Wheels. It’s continued to win awards — generally in the “Narrative Non
Fiction” category, but occasionally in a category like “Sports”. The latest is the International Book Award in the Narrative Non-Fiction category.
Winning book awards is a big deal for an author. Sure it helps us sell a few more books, (or theoretically it should), but the bigger deal is the recognition it represents from book industry experts. It’s their way of saying that, “hey, this is really good stuff.”
And I appreciate it.
Truth be told, it carries even more weight when I hear that same thing from an everyday reader — somebody who was just looking for a good read, picked up my book, and really enjoys it. That’s been happening a lot with Pilgrim Wheels, and while I hope it doesn’t make my head swell too much, it truly does make my heart swell.
So thanks to all my readers who enjoy the story. I LOVE knowing that you enjoy what I write!
And yes, the next book is underway…
🙂
