| Thirsting for More by Marie Wells Coutu is a Finalist for the 2016 Selah Awards, sponsored by Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference |
BLACK MOUNTAIN, N.C. — Edie Melson, Director of the Blue Ridge Mountains
Christian Writers Conference, and Eva Marie Everson, BRMCWC Contest Director,
announce the finalists in the 2016 Selah Awards, awarded to published authors
each year during the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers conference.
The Selah Awards are
open industry wide and internationally to authors published by traditional and
nontraditional publishing houses during the previous year. Winners will be
announced during the awards banquet on May 25. The 2015 Book of the Year award
is chosen by the contest director from the top scores/first place recipients.
This year Thirsting for More (Write Integrity Press), by Marie Wells Coutu, is a finalist in
the category of Fiction:
Contemporary Women.
In this modern-day version of the woman at the
well, the whole city of Charleston seems to be watching, waiting for Northern
transplant and recently hired director of tourism, Victoria Russo, to either
work a miracle or to stumble and fall. The change of geography is a chance for
multi-divorced Victoria to start a new life. Hoping to gain acceptance, she
purchases and tackles the renovation of an historic home, but soon falls back
into her old ways.
Thirsting
for More is the second in the Mended Vessels series,
contemporary stories loosely based on Biblical women that
reveal how God takes broken lives and restores them to usefulness. The first
book, Coutu’s debut novel titled For Such
a Moment, won the Books of Hope award in 2013. The Secret Heart, the third book in the series, will be published
later this year.
Recently, Coutu also received an
honorable mention in the Great Beginnings Contest for an unpublished historical
work-in-progress titled Judgment Between
the Rivers.
Thirsting for More is available from
bookstores and online retailers. For more information, visit www.MarieWellsCoutu.com/books.
