Below is the email I received notifying me that the book of my heart is nominated in Paranormal. I hope that everyone will take a minute to vote for Sinners' Opera (cover by Elise Trissel)
Dear Linda Nightingale,
Because your book, Sinner's Opera, received the high review
rating of a 4 star or better, it has continued to the second, public voting
phase for the 2014 RONE Awards. In this phase the readers will be
narrowing down the contestants to 4 - 6 finalists in each genre by
choosing the books they love best.
This is to inform you that your book’s genre is open for
voting from March 31 - April 6,2014! It will only be open for votes for
exactly one week, so it is extremely important that you let all your friends
and fans know! We would hate to think a superior quality book was lost
only because people were unaware of the time limit, so we are including
the link for voting so you can pass it along!
The finalists in this round will then be read and judged by
a group of professionals in the industry to determine the very best in indie
and small published books of 2013. They will then be awarded the
prestigious RONE award, itself, at the formal ceremonies, July 11th, at the
Golden Nugget Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As you can tell, we at InD’tale magazine went to extensive
labor to create and present the most credible and prestigious award in the
industry today. Our three round system of elimination covers every facet
- highly reviewed, loved by fans, and critiqued by qualified judges. No
other award system today begins to compare, making the RONE award the very
highest of honors bestowed on a book in the publishing industry.
Thank you so much for submitting your wonderful book to
InD’tale magazine and good luck!
Sincerely,
The InD’tale Magazine staff
