Today I learned that Long and Short Reviews (LASR), who awarded Guarded an amazing five stars (which LASR do NOT just hand out to everyone), nominated it for September’s Book of the Month (Non-Erotic).
Even more incredible are the books that have been nominated alongside Guarded.
Right or wrong, I don’t enter my books into contests/competitions. Nominating my books for awards etc. is exactly what book promotion is all about, and I should really do more of it, but the thought alone makes me feel dirty. That’s why I’m always grateful if others go to the trouble of nominating and/or voting for my books. Thank you!
Update: The votes have been counted and I’m happy to announce Guarded came out on top. My thanks to everyone who voted.

This comes only a week after Bookbuzzr (you might know it as Fraedo) interviewed me on their blog. You can read the interview here: http://www.bookbuzzr.com/blog/author-interviews/an-interview-with-amazon-best-selling-author-carmen-fox/.
Weeks like this are rare. Writers tend to focus on the negative, on the self-doubt, and I’m no exception. That said, I’m determined to celebrate for once.
I wish all of you a successful week, too.
