These various awards I've gathered over the years
for my Indie Published books.
Some of these award schemes are, alas, no longer running...
such a shame as there are few (reasonably priced or free) awards available
for indie writers.
(And to pay an entrance fee is often unaffordable.)

Serious About A Series - Part 2
BOOK OF THE MONTH
If you had a crystal ball to predict what lay ahead, would you be tempted to use it? Or would you leave the future to the turn of Fate?
Tales of Variety. Tales of History, Mystery and Magic – some comprising just one of these popular fiction genres, others, a mild mixture of all three.Perhaps you prefer historical fiction rather than a story about magic or fantasy? Maybe you enjoy exploring new themes or prefer sticking to the familiar? Historical fiction can often inform, imparting knowledge of the past, of its events and its people. Stories of mystery exercise the ‘little grey cells’ as Poirot would say, while fantasy and magic create new worlds and awed wonder.
Whatever result, this is where anthologies come into their own, and where short stories are often appreciated as enjoyable, entertaining, quick or easy reads shown through the eyes of a variety of extraordinary characters and situations. In this instance: an Anglo-Saxon woman facing the consequence of conquest, the pursuit of alchemy, the concern of a mother for her daughter, the shifting of time, the necessity of hidden identity, souls who will linger as ghosts, a warning from the supernatural, the necessity for (justifiable?) revenge. All mingled with the rekindling of romance through a mutual quest, and the preparations for a Cotswold village celebration. (Along with a good tip if illicitly snaffling cakes.)
The binding theme? Destiny... Kismet... FATE!
"This richly woven anthology is a tribute to the many faces of fate: sometimes tender, sometimes terrifying, but always deeply human. Each story leaves a distinct emotional imprint and, together, they remind us that history, mystery, and destiny often share the same breath." Patricia Furstenberg Goodreads Review
"I knew some of those authors would deliver because they’re predictably brilliant and already among my favourites, but anthologies are always hit-and-miss. Someone’s favourite story is inevitably going to be somebody else’s hour of boredom. But FATE: Tales of History, Mystery and Magic is free from filler, with all the authors delivering quality."
