Amber Lehman's, TORN named the Winner in the GLBT category of the 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Awards!

Hey Everyone! Well I’m really excited to share some news with you that I just learned of today. My book TORN was named the Winner in the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender) category of the 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Awards! I’m pretty excited. I mean, I’ve never won anything outright before, so this is a surprise. A very pleasant surprise. I was notified by email and the results won’t be posted on their site for another few weeks, but I was just so happy that I had to tell you ahead of time. You’ll be able to see all of the 2010 winners and finalists in a few weeks by going to this link: http://www.IndieBookAwards.com. Thank you to everyone who has gotten behind me and helped me by supporting my writing. You are helping me turn my dreams into realities. TORN, it seems, has gained exposure mostly by “word of mouth,” and I have you to thank for that. Thank you to every reader out there. And thank you also to the readers who take their extra time and effort to write a review for TORN. Even to those of you who didn’t care for it. To me, every opinion counts and holds its own merit. I am very grateful to all of you. So thank you all, again . . . and let’s see what TORN has in store for us next!

Patrick Lee Once again, Amber, congratulations! This time you brought home the Gold. I hope you do very well with TORN out there in the market...but that isn't really the point as much as the knowledge that your inspiration and writing garnered the highest critical acclaim. You're the best; that's what they said!

Patrick

Amber Lehman Thanks so much, Patrick! Yes, it's nice to see that my writing is finally speaking to people after the many hard years of work I put into it. It's nice to see my efforts paid off.

Iolanthe Woulff Congrats and compliments, Amber! My novel, SHE'S MY DAD, was named a finalist in the same category. Let's hope these awards help to spread the word about both our books. (I wish I could attend the NYC party, but it's a bit far.)

In any event, well done! You go, girl. Excelsior!

Lannie : )

Amber Lehman Lannie,
Congratulations on being named a finalist! That's wonderful! Yes, wouldn't it be great if this brought our books to the attention of new readers?! I'm hoping for the best. I wish I could attend the NYC Party too, but like you said, unfortunately it's quite a plane ride away. Thank you for your well wishes. I really appreciate it! Take care and best wishes with Your book!

Amber :)
