In 2022, I received a Page Turner Award for Genre (Romance.) At that time, I had no published books. A year later, I had contracts with traditional publishers in both the U.K. and U.S. for two series (the first of them launching on May 7, 2024), seven novels in all. Book One of one of those series, The Corset Girl, was my 2022 submission to that year's Page Turner Award. Additional books are pending publication through hybrid or small presses, and I'm living the writer's life I hitherto saw only in dreams. There's no overestimating the impact on my career of partnering with Page Turner Awards. MJ Patrick, writing as Annie R McEwen
