Our author Autumn Verno-Wuenschell has won an International Impact Book Award in the Fantasy category for Paper Roses and Paranormal Romance. The award marks an exciting step for Autumn and her first published book.

The International Impact Book Awards recognizes books across a wide range of subjects and genres. In the Fantasy category, judges look at the writing, the story’s world and how well its rules hold together. They also consider the characters and the effect the story has on readers.

The program celebrates its recognized authors at the Impact Honors & Gala Weekend in Phoenix, Arizona. Attending authors receive their awards on stage and have a chance to share their stories with fellow writers and guests.

Paper Roses and Paranormal Romance is a story about William, an immortal who is both vampire and djinn. He has spent centuries hiding his true nature.

On the other hand, Cici is rebuilding her life after a serious accident and a broken engagement. After eighteen months in a psychiatric institution, she is afraid to start again. Then she meets William. Their connection is instant. But behind his charm are secrets that bring many dangers to their romance.

Autumn Verno-Wuenschell is a registered nurse with many years of experience. She has always enjoyed writing and has spent her recent free time developing the characters in her Dia Mallaithe series. She lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with her husband and their dogs and has two grown children.

Congratulations to Autumn on her Fantasy award and this new chapter in her writing journey!
