Last year I received an email from the EPIC letting me know my cover for Pippa Jay’s When Dark Falls was a finalist for an Ariana cover art award in the Science Fiction/Futuristic category.  Well, it’s been forever since then and I stay pretty busy, so I didn’t keep track of it. Since I hadn’t heard back, I’d assumed I didn’t win.

Then today when I checked the mail I had a little package with EPIC on the label. After shredding the box in the car, I found a lovely plaque. I won an Ariana award! Me. I never would have believed it.

Thank you so much to those at EPIC who found my cover worthy of this award. It means a lot!
