“Siegfried” Novel Wins in Awards Contest

I’m happy to announce that my contemporary fantasy novel “She Should Have Called Him Siegfried” is the winner of the “genre-based” category of the London Book Festival 2012. Though there has been some doubt as of late as to the “validity” of contests like this, anonymous judges, etc., it’s still kinda cool to win and have your name up there somewhere and the hope that someone actually read the book and liked it.

The psychological factor of being able to call your novels “award winning” ones is also something that cannot be negotiated away. After all something like this allows the author to make some advertisement and to publish a press release for example. Here’s the “Siegfried” wins press release I made for the award.

So I shall take this win as a welcome X-mas present and toast my potion master Hagen Patterson and his father Alberich – part two of his/their story is about to be written!
