Eversea is a Digital Book Awards FINALIST!

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:
