I’m so excited to announce that Tides of Time is a finalist for the 2020 RONE Awards!
The RONE Awards is a contest held annually by the amazing team at InD’Tale Magazine. The contest is for romance authors published by indie or small publishers.
Throughout the year the InD’tale Magazine reviewers read and review submitted books. A few are selected as possible finalists. Reader votes narrow the field of 10-15 down to just a few finalists. Those books are then read by a panel of industry judges (editors, agents, librarians, etc.) who determine the RONE winners.
Winners will be announced and presented at the RONE Awards Gala in October at the Write Like a Pro With InD’Scribe Conference.
I was thrilled to learn that I was a 2020 finalist voted into this round by you–the readers! Thanks so much!
Congratulations to all the finalists in the various categories. I’ll list them below if you want to grab some reads!
