The wait is finally over, and the winners are announced.  Running a contest is very expensive and time consuming.  Our contest, however, was very well managed and very well organized.  The first annual Best Indie Book Award contest went off without a hitch.   We appreciate all the wonderful entries we received.  Judging was tough, and there was much debate in several categories regarding the winners and their books.  We had plenty of entries in all categories, and when it came to the finalists, the judges had their work cut out for them.  We saw some really strong writing and great storylines.  Excellent job authors!

The following is a list of the winners in their respective categories.
