Much excite!

My disability-hopepunk adventure created during the COVID-19 pandemic has been nominated in the Best Sci-Fi Novel category of the Indieverse Awards!

It’s so thrilling to have Season One: Iris and the Crew Tear Through Space! up for another nomination! (It’s also a finalist for the 2023 Indie Ink Awards.) I know this seems like a cliché, but I do find it an honour to be nominated. Anything else is bonus!

The advert has an aqua background, and it shows the cover of my book and shows which category I’m nominated in.

What’s also fun about the Indieverse Awards is that it’s new, and they really seem to care about community building with indie and small-press authors. I am hoping to be involved in author interviews, an ebook giveaway, and maybe a panel. I’ve only just applied for those events, so I will keep you posted! Follow me also on the socials for updates! I’m caitgauthor on IG, Threads, Facebook (CaitGAuthor), and Bluesky!

Voting for the winners takes place in November, but do please consider following @indiverseawards on Instagram because they will also post updates about their cool events and giveaways!

Now, if you will excuse me, I have much squeeing to do.

Okay, one for here:

SQUEEE!
