  Valya : Writer, Storyteller, Mother

Selected as Semifinalist in Amazon Contest...PLEASE vote/review!

Valya said Feb 4, 2008, 2:47 PM:

 

Set in Ukraine during World War II, as well as in Chicago in the present day, my novel opens with a young girl sneaking out of her home at night to have her fortune told by a Voroshka, a Gypsy fortuneteller. You'll have to read what happens next…

My novel manuscript, THE SILENCE OF TREES, has been selected as a Semifinalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. It's one of 836 excerpts chosen out of 5000 entries that were announced on January 15th.

This has been called the American Idol for Writers. Your review counts!  If you have a few moments, please visit the site and read and review my 14-page excerpt from THE SILENCE OF TREES.

The link is:

The next stage of the competition asks Amazon customers to download, read, and review excerpts. Each review essentially counts as a vote, and the votes will be used in determining the top 100 Finalists, which will be announced on February 19.

Plus there are incentive prizes for reviewers!

For more information, you can also visit my website at www.thesilenceoftrees.com

I appreciate your review, as well as the reviews of anyone else you can forward this message on to.

Blessings,
Valya
