2015 Digital Book World Digital Book Awards Top-5 Finalist

You'd be crazy to ignore the fact that we're a DBW (Digital Book World) top-5 finalist in the 2015 Digital Book Awards (for excellence in eBooks).

Diamonds in the Sky, by M.A. Harper, published by BooksBnimble, was among the top 5 books in the running for the win at the 2015 DBW Digital Book Awards--check out the list of finalists in reflowable Adult Fiction, here:  DBW Digital Book Awards Finalist, 2015.  Now, that might not be so impressive--heavens knows, there are scads of "contests" and "awards" and the like, popping up all over the Net--except for the fact that DBW is the apex of eBook-making, and all the competition that also finished in the top 5 came from the likes of Random House and other Big Publishing Houses. Nary an Indy publisher amongst them--except for our entry, BooksBNimble's Diamonds in the Sky.  You, too, can have award-nominated formatting for your book. 

T'was the Night Before Christmas... 

 (With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore, may he forgive my doggerel...)

...and all through the shop,
all we minions were working,
   until ready to drop.

The ebooks were flying,
the covers were spare,
The edits were crazy,
   with "one more thing I must share!"

We waited for Santa,
'Cuz we love old Saint Nick,
But Hitch made us work,
   Waving 'round an old stick!

So slave we all did,
And made all your books,
So that Hitch would say now,
   that we're off the hook.

Come today we're off,
to rest up our fingers,
Our hats we will doff,
   No books they do linger.

But we'll all be back,
Don't give it a thought,
for like all wage slaves,
   we're easily bought.

We'll be back on the fifth,
all eager and fresh,
All ready for you,
   after a well-deserved rest.

So Hitch wants to say,
very strongly and loud,
THANKS ALL YOU GUYS,
  you're the best type of crowd.

Indy and Len and Hitch and the gang,
will be back on the 5th,
to do books with a BANG!

In the meantime don't worry,
if you're in a hurry,
'cuz some poor guy got stuck
   sitting here like a duck.

Your emails we'll receive,
so no need to grieve.
We'll be a bit slow,
but we're raring to go.

Your books will be worked on,
your edits still made,
we're just resting a bit,
   before we all fade.

So please excuse the delays;
It won't be for days;
we'll jump on your queries,
   for your wondrous new series.

We waited for Santa,
'Cuz we love old St. Nick,
And sure 'nuff he came,
   It wasn't a trick.

And as he rode off,
into the night,
I could swear I heard Hitch yell,
   "That Edit's Not Right!"

We'll be back on the morning of January 5th; we'll be here parttime between now and then, thanks.
