2014 ABNA Quarter Finals - THE MENGELE EFFECT!

The list is out - THE MENGELE EFFECT made it through to the Quarter Finals round of the 2014 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award (ABNA) contest!  The 300 word pitch was judged for the Second Round, and the 5,000 word excerpt was judged for the Quarter Finals cut.

400 Second Round entries in the Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror category are now reduced to 100.  By the end of the week, each of the Quarter Finalist excerpts (with Amazon judge reviews) will be available for download at Amazon for you--my AWESOME reader--to take a look & leave your own review.

So what's next?  Well, the REAL tough judging begins.  Publishers Weekly will review & rate the entire manuscript for the next cut for the Semi Finals round.  The 100 Quarter Finalists in each category (General Fiction, Mystery & Thriller, Romance, Young Adult Fiction and Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror) will be reduced to...*gulp*...5 Semi Finalists per category on 13 Jun.

My novel THE COMING made it this far in 2011...I'm hoping THE MENGELE EFFECT will get a little farther!  Wish me luck!
