Exciting news this week!  I have been named a finalist for 2025 Author of the Year by International Impact Book Awards.  I would love to attend their Gala in Hollywood in October.  Unfortunately the expense is way beyond my comfort zone, so I will watch from the sidelines!

“It is with deep respect and admiration that we congratulate you — you’ve officially been selected as a Finalist for the Author of the Year 2025 at the International Impact Book Awards, in the category of Non-Fiction –  Memoir.

Your work was reviewed among hundreds of exceptional entries, and your message rose to the top. This recognition is more than a ranking — it’s a reflection of the impact your voice has had on readers, on the judging panel, and on the world of thought leadership.

You’ve done something most people only dream about: you’ve written a powerful book, you’ve put your truth on paper, and you’ve created something that moved others. That is no small thing. This moment is yours.”
