I'm incredibly humbled and honored that TRACKER220 was selected as a runner up in the YA category for the Indie Author Project Awards. There were over 2000 entries across 7 categories and they chose my little book to recognize!
I'm struggling to find the words of appreciation but here's me taking a shot...This book has meant so much to me as my first published book that I self published (and if I'm being honest was afraid to admit at times because there is still a stigma that self published books are just not as good as traditionally published ones which is absolutely NOT true). It was definitely a journey and a learning experience along the way. There are so many people that were part of my Jedi knights that helped this young writing Padawan progress into an author Jedi master. And while I knew this book was something special all along, it's nice to have it recognized in such a HUGE way.
When I set out to write this book in 2012 I had no idea how much it would tell me about myself, how I identify as a Jew, and the things I've questioned when it comes to the cross over between faith and technology. And I certainly could never have predicted that it would end up paralleling so many big world events and be an inadvertent commentary of the things happening. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every person who has supported this book in big and small ways. It has meant so much to me!
Thank you again to Indie Author Project and my publishing coop Snowy Wings Publishing.
