It’s Book Award Season

Thursday September 2, 2021 | By Hieronymus Hawkes | Awards

I submitted for maybe half a dozen book awards. I’ve heard back from three so far and I made the cut in one that is still going. I made finalist in another but didn’t win.

And today I found out I won  National Association of Book Entrepreneurs Summer 2021 Best Science Fiction Book!

This is their 39th year doing book awards by category. It’s always rewarding to get recognized for the effort.

I have to say I am quite pleased with how Effacement turned out. The reviews have been generally great, and best of all nobody has said I suck at writing and should stop. That was my biggest fear.

Imposter syndrome is real.
