“Whatever comes," she said, "cannot alter one thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.” ― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

indieBRAG Testimonials
I am elated and humbled to learn that my novel has received a Medallion. An Indie author can enter many a contest, but win or lose, one knows nothing of the quality or quantity of the competition. The Medallion is different. Any author can see every novel in the Medallion competition. Just go to the BRAG website, click on a novel's purchase link and read a sample. Each new nominee is essentially competing against the standards set by every Medallion novel that's gone before. And that makes receiving a Medallion very special. Unique. I am proud and honored to be a Medallion author. As you might have guessed from the paragraph above, I have been to the BRAG website many times. My wife's book club is currently reading a Medallion novel. Just last month, I blogged about the merits of indieBRAG. Readers need filters. The Medallion is arguably the best filter. I am very pleased to agree to adding my novel to the Medallion list. My schedule is currently overflowing, so please accept my apology for not immediately providing the information you requested. When I return home late next week, answering your request will be my first task. Thank you, George Peters (Pen name, G. Egore Pitir, author of Face Of Our Farher)
