The most wonderful news came to our house this past week. Really outstanding. My wife's awesome book won first prize in Writer's Digest's Self-Published eBook Awards competition in the Fantasy category.
If you haven't heard of my wife's book yet, where you been hiding?! I'm sure I've talked it up over the last year since it was published. If you have Kindle Unlimited, it's free, so why not give it a try? If you don't, it's only $4.99. Again, why not give it a try? If you prefer to hold the book in your hand, she's got it out in paperback as well. Here's the blurb, and if this doesn't get you to read the book, I don't know what will:
The Promiscuous Gene changed everything—a single mutation in a single sex cell traced to a single human 300,000 years ago that quickly jumped across the spectrum of sentient creatures. The gene allows the wraiths, changelings, and all the other ancient, wondrous species here long before humans to crossbreed with the newcomers. Most of the monsters have been assimilated. But they still exist.
Director Maurice Rose of the Exceptional Crimes Bureau must investigate a string of murders and disappearances within the not-quite-human community. He soon suspects someone close to him is behind the crimes. But who do they work for, and why are he and his agents their next targets?
In this alternative universe, scientists have broken the genetic code, monsters hide in plain sight, and the Moon’s approach threatens all life on Earth. Director Rose and his agents are in the race for their lives to uncover and stop the forces willing to do anything to survive the coming cataclysm.
Speculative, fast-paced, and character-driven, Children of Cain explores just what makes one human, and just who gets to decide.
Besides the cash prize, her book will be featured in the May/June 2024 issue of Writer's Digest and on writersdigest.com when the issue is released. Expect some screenshots next year!
