Most don’t wanna revisit 2020 but looks like I’m the outlier — not to be confused with an outed liar. What I’m outing is a confession that I have not explored my junk mail in 4 years, for fear of what I might find there.
Turns out, junk mail is not so much a dark place where rejected senders go to die, but a treasure chest where awards are waiting to be discovered years later!
My 2020 novel, The Ascender, was awarded the sole finalist spot in a sci-fi category. So, a very belated thank you to the American Fiction Awards people who are now sending me my fancy award certificate and golden digital stickers 4 years later.
Just goes to show some tasty treats don’t expire and it can be a really fun trip to travel back to the past.
I’m currently working on the sequel and this feel-good reverse pat-on-the-back has nudged my inspiration forward.
If ya feel like checking out The Ascender 1, here’s a nice link that will send you back in time to 2020–minus the COVID https://www.amazon.com/Ascender-Tracey-L-Pacelli-ebook/dp/B085STYGMH
