Yesterday, I was informed that my book was named the RRBC Bookclub Grand Prize Winner for 2023. Needless to say, I am thrilled!
Here is a comment made by a fellow club member regarding my writing style:
PATTY PERRIN says:
Congratulations, John, on your well-deserved award! I have read all your works except for Cherries, probably because I know I’ll make a strong emotional investment in the story when I read it. You are an excellent story-teller, taking your readers into the actions and emotions of your characters as if they were there in person. TREAT AWARD-winning CHERRIES is NEXT on my list to read, and I plan to fully immerse myself in every word. God bless you, and may CHERRIES find its way onto every bookshelf!
Blessings, and Merry Christmas!
