Carson City native, CHS grad Teri Case novels win gold at International Readers' Favorite Awards
Carson City native-born author Teri Case has recently won two Gold Awards at the International Readers' Favorite Awards for her books "Tiger Drive" and "In the Doghouse."
Teri's first book, "Tiger Drive," named for the Carson City street she had lived growing up, is about a fictionalized family coping with many different personalities. It received the Reader' Favorite Gold Award in the "fiction, drama" category.
"In the Doghouse: A Couple's Breakup from Their Dog's Point of View," received the Gold Award in the category of "fiction, animals." Earlier this summer it had won its first award, The National Indie Excellence Award for Fiction.
Readers' Favorite is one of the largest book review and award contest sites on the Web. It has earned the respect of renowned publishers like Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Harper Collins and has received the "Best Websites for Authors" and "Honoring Excellence" awards from the Association of Independent Authors.
According to the Readers' Favorite website, it receives thousands of entries from all over the world as well as well as receiving submissions from independent authors, small publishers, and publishing giants such as Random House, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster, with contestants that range from the first-time, self-published author to New York Times bestsellers like J.A. Jance, James Rollins, and No. 1 best-selling author Daniel Silva, as well as celebrity authors like Jim Carrey (Bruce Almighty), Henry Winkler (Happy Days), and Eriq La Salle (E.R., Coming to America).
"When the right books are picked as winners we pay attention. We will be spreading the word about Readers' Favorite," notes Karen A., Editor for Penguin Random House.
Both novels by Case can be purchased at Purple Avocado in Carson City, or online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple and Kobo.
A portion of the proceeds of these novels supports the Tiger Drive Scholarship which is given to Carson High School and Pioneer High School students who are reaching, learning, and growing beyond their familiar environment by furthering their education at college or in trade schools.
