I announced this on Facebook and Twitter first, and now I’m announcing it here, for those who aren’t following me on those social media platforms.
This past Monday evening I learned The Education of Dixie Dupree was selected as a November 2016 Indie Next Pick by the American Booksellers Association. (!!!)
This is such an honor, and honestly, I’m still absorbing the news. I’m headed to Savannah tomorrow for the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (#SIBA16) trade show and you can bet I will grab that opportunity to THANK all those booksellers who have already shown such great support for my book. I can’t wait to meet them all!
Congratulations! I can’t wait to read your book. I love seeing someone’s dreams come true and their hard work pay off.
Thank you, Rebecca! It really is a dream come true. I’d always had this idea I would one day write a book, and just the idea itself seemed so far out of reach at the time. Hard to believe, really.
You can’t imagine how happy I am for you, Donna! You amaze me, my friend! <3 <3 <3
Thank you so much, Lilac. I always look forward to your kind thoughtful words! <3 <3 <3
I just ordered my copy. Congratulations!!! Love this.
Thank you, Teri! I’m still freaking out. 🙂
This is wonderful and not surprising. I hope for–and expect–many more such accolades to come your way, Donna. 🙂
Awww, thank you so much, Colin! I also can’t thank you enough for advocating for my book! You’re the bestest! <3
This is fantastic!! Congratulations, Donna! What wonderful news.
Thank you, Averil! I was shocked, to be honest. I was like, are they sure???? 🙂
