2014 ABNA - Second Round!

Learned today that the 300-word pitch for THE MENGELE EFFECT made the first cut in the 2014 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award (ABNA) and is moving on to the second round!



The contest started with 10,000 entries, and this cut trimmed it to 2,000.  They selected 400 entries from five different categories--mine was one of the 400 selected for the Sci Fi/Fantasy/Horror category.  Next, the judges will base their quarter-finalist selections on a 5,000-word excerpt and cut the 2,000 second-rounders to 500 (400 to 100 in each category).  They'll announce the quarter-finalist entries on April 14th.

In 2011, my novel THE COMING made it to the quarter-finals round.  Hopefully Lady Luck will be with me this time, too!  Fingers crossed...
