What a thrill to learn that Dancing at Angel Abbey is a winner in the 2016 International Book Awards! Just got word that my novel won the New Age Fiction category, and will be recognized among many wonderful books in the IBA’s materials. Truly, it’s an honor.

We live in difficult times. With all the rancor swirling around, it seemed to me that we needed to throw some hope into the mix for balance. Dancing at Angel Abbey embodies my belief that, no matter how tough things seem, the world we live in is full of beauty, and love is everywhere if you just remember to look for it.

So, my thanks to Jeffrey Keen of American Book Fest, and the judges who devoted their time to the competition. Congratulations to all the winners and finalists! I’m humbled to be among you.
