I just learned some pretty awesome news!
On August 2nd of 2014, I found out that I was nominated for the BTS Red Carpet Review Awards. 
Well, just a few moments ago, I learned that I made Honorable Mention in my genre category. The official announcement happens at the awards ceremony in July. Yay!
This is a complete honor for me, and I’m so happy to impart this news to all of you! 🙂
