Movie Memoir Wins Coveted Book Award
by Betty Jo Tucker

I feel honored that my movie memoir was selected as one of the winners in the 2012 Royal Dragonfly Book Awards contest. Below is the official press release regardng this event.  

         CHANDLER, AZ (November, 2012) – The judges of the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards contest, which recognizes excellence in literature, have spoken, and CONFESSIONS OF A MOVIE ADDICT by Betty Jo Tucker, won First Place in the Autobiography, Memoir category.  

            “Winning any place in the Royal Dragonfly Contest is a huge honor because in order to maintain the integrity of the Dragonfly Book Awards, a minimum score is required before a 1st or 2nd place or Honorable Mention will be awarded to the entrant – even if it is the sole entry in a category,” explains Linda Radke, president of Five Star Publications, the sponsor of the Dragonfly Book Awards. Competition is steep, too, because there is no publication date limit as long as the book is still in print.”

            CONFESSIONS OF A MOVIE ADDICT is a film critic’s amusing life story with everything but the fun movie stuff edited out. While describing her longstanding love affair with the cinema, the author includes humorous movie-related experiences, revealing interactions with movie stars, selected interviews and over 70 reviews of films released in 2000 and 2001 A.D. It retails for $19.95 and can be purchased at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, Wheatmark.com and most local bookstores.

            For a complete list of winners including all first and second place and honorable mention recipients, visit www.FiveStarBookAwards.com and click on “Winners.”

Submissions postmarked August 1, 2013 or earlier are eligible for the Early Bird reward: a free e-copy of The Economical Guide to Self-Publishing or Promote Like a Pro: Small Budget, Big Show written by Radke.
