Madison’s Song scored big in this year’s Global Ebook Awards, taking\u00a0home not only the silver in its category but also earning the first-ever Dan Poynter\u00a0Legacy Award. The Legacy\u00a0Award\u00a0was added this year to remember Dan Poynter, the founder of the Global Ebook Awards, and it is given to the best fiction, non-fiction, and “best of” entries.

<\/a>me, you hover over the idea that the book earned second place in its category and first in overall fiction, I would just say this: Fantasy\/Contemporary does not fit Madison’s Song<\/em> like a glove. It was just the most reasonable category from a list of worse options. It’s hard to place cross-genre fiction on bookshelves, into marketing categories, and into prize categories. Which is why I feel so honored by this new and unexpected recognition in the form of the Legacy Award.<\/p>\n
