This morning’s email included the news that TOKYO REVERIE is a finalist in the 2026 Book of the Year Awards. I found the Independent Author Network (IAN) competition for authors who are self published or published by a small indie presses online shortly after the book launch and submitted my entry. While not a Gold, Silver or Bronze finish, ranking among two other Finalists in the Travel/Travel Guide category is very sweet.
Marketing is such drudgery–but very nice when it pays off.
