That version was First Runner-Up for the prestigious 2001 COVR Award for Visionary Fiction (New Age). (See: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=1019310263&searchurl=an%3Dlinda%2Btuck-Jenkins%26sts%3Dt%26tn%3Dstarpeople%253A%2Bthe%2Bsirian%2Bredemption%26x%3D77%26y%3D14 I'll note that the manuscript had been professionally edited (as recommended by iUniverse) before I even submitted it.Because of printing problems --my book was among the first published by iUniverse and they didn't have their act together yet--I cancelled the contract, started my own company, and reissued the book. (See: http://www.amazon.com/Starpeople-Sirian-Redemption-Linda-Tuck-Jenkins/dp/0971042993/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1198939226&sr=1-1) The new version was identical content-wise to the iUniverse version and it was a Finalist for the 2001 IPPY Award for Visionary Fiction.My point is that the manner in which a book is printed and distributed has nothing to do with the quality of the content.Linda Tuck-Jenkinshttp://www.thedaffodils.comnoreply@blogger.com
