Susan Wingate, Author of STORM SEASON receives coveted Book Excellence Award

SEATTLE - EntSun -- Susan Wingate's STORM SEASON wins a 2019 for the Thriller Category. Founded in Toronto, Ontario, the Book Excellence Awards is an international book awards competition dedicated to recognizing both independent and traditionally published authors and publishers for excellence in writing, design and overall market appeal. Previous Winners and Finalists of the Book Excellence Awards have doubled their book sales, garnered attention from film producers, received distribution in book stores and increased their visibility and media attention.

"What a surprise to get the winning notification. I had forgotten the publisher had entered this award. I'm thrilled," says Susan Wingate. "Storm Season has gotten great reviews from some highly respected reviewers both journals and NY Times Bestselling authors but I really wasn't sure, scared actually, if the story would translate to readers, if they would like it also." Although a majority of male reviewers have given STORM SEASON the highest kudos, the story resonates with women as well who have children and, specifically, children at-risk. Drug abuse is a key element threading the action of this story. Women will come away from reading this heart-pumping thriller feeling empowered, feeling they can overcome all odds. How do they benefit from reading Storm Season. Which is why Susan Wingate wrote the book.

This novel will leave an indelible mark on your soul.  Don't miss it." —James Rollins, New York Times bestseller of The Demon Crown
