RPLA GOLD MEDAL for unpublished historical fiction

At my regular weekly writers’ critique group meeting, someone suggested that I enter this contest. Nobody was more surprised than me when From the Drop of Heaven won the gold medal for previously unpublished historical fiction.

I believe that receiving this honor gave me the boost that I needed for Sunbury Press to take notice of my Renaissance Historical and offer me a contract.
