Unfortunately, Talented: Fire did not make the next round of cuts in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Contest. On the bright side, it did get a very favorable review by the Publishers Weekly reviewer. Talented: Fire was being judged against other Fantasy, Science-Fiction, and Horror books, and I feel nothing but pride that my book made it as far in the contest as it did.
Congratulations to the 5 in my category to progress to the semifinals, and I have every confidence in those writers and their writing abilities. I wish nothing but the best for B R Sanders, J. Lincoln Fenn, Joe Occhipinti, Johanna Hofer, and Timothy Frame, the 5 semifinalists from my category, and I suggest that you all go check out their excerpts on Amazon.

Congratulatios on your placement in the contest! You should be proud of your achievement. I loved what I was able to read. Is there a possibility that I could read the entire book?

I plan on posting an excerpt from Talented: Fire on the site soon, and hope to self-publish later in the year. I am glad you liked what you read so far.
