Wow, Tech, that's a big deal! Congratulations. Is this different from being a "finalist"? When will you find out whether you won?

Thanks! No, this is just the first round. The judges will read all of the nominated books by March and pick the finalists, I believe 5 books. Then the members vote on the winner. I believe that will be announced in August.

Add my congratulations to the mix! That is a big deal indeed. Kudos.
DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.

Thanks for the support all!

BTW, I could use some more Amazon reviews if anyone feels like writing one...

So this will be the second time you've won it?

I've never won it yet.

My author has won it twice, the last time about 30 years ago.

He wasn't my author at the time, so I can't claim credit for that.

Ok, I see. Was thinking you were the author instead of the publisher.
