This Happened…

The Legend of the Lumenstones received perfect ratings across all categories in the Writer’s Digest Self-Published book competition for 2018.

Judges comments:

 

“You’ve created a world and set of characters that ranks up there with the great quest novels like The Lord of the Rings and even Harry Potter. I enjoyed your succinct writing style that brought all this to life without overdoing the descriptions. I felt I was right alongside Mattoby and his motley crew as they go in search of the lumenstones. I loved the adventures they go through. I like how you made your characters believable and not one dimensional. You gave them each distinct personalities that weren’t stereotypical. Your pacing was wonderful – I had to keep turning the pages to find out what happens next. Great fantasy fiction.” – Judge, 25th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards.

Structure, Organization, and Pacing: 5

    1. Thank you so much! That means a lot to me. I have a number of projects in the works right now, including the follow-up novel to this book. The review is a good motivator, but I would be nowhere without all the love and support from family and friends, especially in our blogging community. 💕☺

    Definitely adding it to my list. I much prefer having the real copies to the ebooks but the postage to Australia means I have to pace my buying!
    I’m so happy for you!

    1. Thank you, Vanessa!💕 I am working on the next book in the series along with a few other projects, so it was a timely motivator.

      I know what you mean about holding a real book in your hands. I feel the same way! 😊
