Super random that this just so happens to fall at the end of another launch week, but I’m honoured and amazed to learn Blind the Eyes has been shortlisted in the eBook Awards 2020 category of the Page Turner Awards alongside some wonderful titles!
Very excited to (remotely) attend the awards ceremony on October 20—though a little bummed it’s a plague year and therefore impossible to pop over to the UK for the party.😢
Congrats to all the shortlisted eBook and Writing award category entrants (check out their stories here!)
Original Post, 2020-08-29:
This is just such an awesome way to cap off launch week: Blind the Eyes is a Page Turner Awards finalist in the 2020 ebook awards category! Always awesome to see my creepy lil murderbabies getting the love~ ^_^;
