Many thanks to all of you who took time to vote for Epitaph as the Ohioana Readers Choice. Not only did you nail that one down for me, your enthusiasm for the novel was matched by the professional judges who also gave the novel the 2015 Best Fiction prize.
The award ceremony will be at the Ohio State House on September 23 and I’ll be a guest at the 2017 Ohioana Book Festival on April 8 as well.
Recognition like this doesn’t guarantee that my next novel will be published — every book is a separate roll of the dice — but it does help my work surface in the ocean of fiction that comes out every year. Once again: thanks. I am so very grateful for your kind words and for your support.
