Set against the backdrop of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in the biggest ballroom imaginable, the whole experience was just immense!
To have my first book become a international award winner, and to become a global award winning author is a truly astonishing feeling. The award speeches were broadcast around the world, and I was invited to the stage to say how much the awards meant to me. These hugely valued accolades acknowledge the effort and dedication it takes to be an author and a business development professional, and to be in such wonderful company of the best in the world makes me feel elated.”
