2011 Amazon Breakthrough Novel contest
I've just been informed that my novel, based solely on the 'pitch' I submitted, has made it through the first round of judging.

I didn't even tell any of my friends that I had entered this, because I didn't expect anything to come of it, so I am both surprised and delighted.

The next round is based on a 5,000 word excerpt, and if it makes it that far, the last round will be based on the entire work.

I received much help from this board, so I wanted all of you to know.

Thank you!

Congratulations I fell at the first post, but I didn't expect to get to the second round with a Paranormal action adventure. Good luck and I hope it brings good things.
Arigato,

Congratulations, Kate! I read your novel the end of last year and loved it. I'm not great at expressing my feelings/thoughts about a book, but as I mentioned before:
Quote:
[I] found it a very well-written story. It was especially interesting since I know the areas in the book.

I loved how the full story of Marguerite's life unfolds through the back stories and thought the present and past wove together very well.

Once I started, I became very caught up in a story of history and lives that compelled me to continue reading to find out what happened. The characters became real people with real lives the more that I read and the more that was revealed as I read.

Thank you for a very enjoyable read.
Good Luck in the Quarter Finals!
