Press Release
The Readers’ Favorite International Book Award Contest featured thousands of contestants from over a dozen countries, ranging from new independent authors to NYT best-sellers and celebrities.
Readers’ Favorite is one of the largest book review and award contest sites on the Internet. They have earned the respect of renowned publishers like Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Harper Collins, and have received the “Best Websites for Authors” and “Honoring Excellence” awards from the Association of Independent Authors. They are also fully accredited by the BBB (A+ rating), which is a rarity among Book Review and Book Award Contest companies.
We receive thousands of entries from all over the world. Because of these large submission numbers, we are able to break down our contest into 140+ genres, and each genre is judged separately, ensuring that books only compete against books of their same genre for a fairer and more accurate competition. We receive submissions from independent authors, small publishers, and publishing giants such as Random House, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster, with contestants that range from the first-time, self-published author to New York Times bestsellers like J.A. Jance, James Rollins, and #1 best-selling author Daniel Silva, as well as celebrity authors like Jim Carrey (Bruce Almighty), Henry Winkler (Happy Days), and Eriq La Salle (E.R., Coming to America).

The Environmental Theme
I’m so excited and honored to have won a Readers Favorite Book Award. Salt Island’s environmental theme tackles oil company illegal chemical dumping, as well as cloud seeding as part of its layered plot to bring a corrupt, duplicitous business mogul to justice. As part of my research for this book, I drew on the environmental knowledge I gained through my MBA dissertation on fracking. I’ve got a lot to say on this subject, ask me about it sometime! LOL
If you haven’t read Salt Island, you can find it on Amazon in Kindle, paperback, hardcover and audiobook formats.
And as always, THANK YOU for reading this blog and supporting my writing journey!
