Riding the Rainbow has been selected as a finalist in the Golden Crown Literary Society’s 2015 Goldie awards, YA lit category. Winners will be announced at the GCLS conference to be held during July in New Orleans.

I’m doubly proud because this book was originally self-published (although it has since been signed to Shadoe Publishing, an independent LGBT press). It’s up against some of the best writers in the genre, an honor I cherish.
