So this is a pretty big deal. Due to my amazing formatter Angela McLaurin of Fictional Formats, my editor, Judy Roth and my cover designer Adrian Repasch, we created a product that was good enough to be announced as a FINALIST at the Digital Book Awards in New York City (formerly called Publishing Innovation Awards). I am so thrilled, proud and happy for my team! I'm looking forward to being in New York City on January 14th. Here is the press release:

Congratulations to all people behind Eversea! I know that it was a tough competition and everyone actually deserves the top spot. Being part of the finalists is already a thing top be proud of. Digital Book Awards in New York City is one of the most coveted award giving body in the pulsating world. Not everyone is given the chance to win this contest. It may not be now, but the day will come that you will finally bag the said award! I ma hoping for that, and I am sure that many are also wishing for the same thing.
