CELEBRATIONS Welcome to the third day of the 500,000 views celebration here at www.heidirubymiller.com . I'm now at 507,000 and STARRIE is #162 free in all of Kindle on Amazon, #2 in science fiction , and #1 in space opera . STARRIE is still free  until Saturday, December 24, 2016.

Since Jason isn't one for shining a light on his own accomplishments, I'm quite happy to: Hellbender (Raw Dog Screaming Press) won the Arthur J. Rooney Award for Fiction, the McLaughlin Scholarship, and was a finalist for the Appalachian Writers Association Book of the Year in 2013. See who was cast for HELLBENDER
