Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Finalists Announced

The Finalists in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award have been announced. I'm sorry to say These Days did not make it, but making it to the top 50 out of 5,000 is quite an accomplishment. These Days is my first attempt at novel-writing, and I'm quite pleased to have finished in the top 1%. In the days to come, I'll be using the wonderful review received by Publisher's Weekly to market my manuscript to agents and editors.

Check out the finalists' entries at Amazon's Breakthrough Novel Award web page. There's some worthwhile reading there. The winner is chosen by customer vote, so be sure to cast yours. Thus far, Charles Kelly's Grace Humiston and the Vanishing will be getting mine, but I've yet to read The Beautiful Land.

I was in a house hold that listened to jazz when Joy to the World by Three dog night was out. Very Good Mary.

My love of jazz stems from my dad's melancholy habit of listening to old records while drinking. Like my pitch says, I come from a broken home where nostalgia played a major role. My writing is my way of working through all that. Love and good cheer, Angela. Your friend, Mary
