<p style="text-align: center;">I&#8217;m so very honored that the book of my heart &amp; ancestry is a <a href="https://christyawards.com/index.html"><strong>Christy Award</strong></a> finalist! There is no more renowned award in my industry than this. I&#8217;m blessed to have been a finalist for <em>Love&#8217;s Reckoning </em>several years ago and then <em>The Lacemaker </em>won the Christy Award the year after it was published. This year there was a tie among finalists in my category. I&#8217;m friends with Kristy Cambron, Sarah Sundin, and Roseanna B. White so it&#8217;s truly a win-win no matter who takes home the award on November 16th.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Heartfelt thanks to my publisher, Revell, for entering this novel &amp; to Christy judges for selecting it!</p>
