And the Award Goes To...!
I remember it clear as day. I had applied to the 2017 Best Indie Book Award at the VERY last minute.
I was in Dubai, sitting on the hotel bed frantically clicking through website after website. I hastily contacted a friend of mine who'd won an award herself to ask for advice. She gave me this particular award, and I jumped at the opportunity. I didn't think I stood much of a chance. This was in August.
