It’s time for a little blatant self-promotion.

Last week, I learned that Forensic Science for Writers is a silver award winner in the writing/publishing division of the 2013 Independent Publisher Book Awards contest. That’s right. It’s an IPPY Award Winner.

I have two news items about my book, Forensic Science for Writers.

First, the good folks at The Writers Store decided to offer my book. As most writers know, The Writers Store is not only a brick and mortar store, but also a huge online shop devoted to helping writers.

Second, Moira Allen, editor of Writing-World.com and author of books, such as Starting Your Career as a Freelance Writer, kindly offered her view of Forensic Science for Writers:

 If you’ve been getting your forensic details from television, try this instead! It’s packed with an amazing amount of detail, and helps the reader sort out not only what can be done, but exactly who does it. Over and over, I found myself exclaiming, “I didn’t know THAT!” Now I do!
