P.S.: Pleased to note that Verdi's Dream made the first cut in the contest (top 1000 of 5000 entries). Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. And fingers crossed.
Sono felicissima comunicare che il romanzo e' stato scelto fra i top 1000 di 5000 nella gara di Amazon Best New Novel. Meglio di niente! Ho le dita incrociate, anche se poche speranze (mai vinto niente nella vita, perché inziare ora?).

Congrats! You are doing very well in a contest! I have never done well in any and my only consolation is that a lot of major authors never did either, like for example Ormesson (remember "Au Plaisir de Dieu"? What a marvelous book!)...
ReplyDeleteThe thing is the book (and the writing) NOT the contest! And I LOVE your title and shall certainly download your book!
I'm a writer too, I'm a Columbia graduate like you and live in Italy (still married to my Sicilian husband - 35 years and going!) AND I also wrote a book about an American in Sicily. As multilingual/multicultural writers hooked to Italy (I've got French as my mother tongue) I guess we have a lot in common! Please get in touch on my blog or Twitter if you ever have a minute...
