Congratulations to Christy Winner Jill Williamson by Terry Burns



Our sincere congratulations to Jill Williamson as her novel title "By Darkness Hid" is this years Christy Award in the visionary category. Even though Jill is no longer with Hartline I was pleased to be the agent on this book.



This is not only a win for Jill but for Jeff Gerke as his small press went head to head with major publishers and came away with the win.


We are bursting with pride for Jill and for Jeff both and wish them tremendous ongoing success.

Wasn't me, Jill had a great book and even opened the door for herself at a conference interview.

Congratulations to Jill, Terry, and Jeff. What a wonderful victory for you all.

It heartens me that a book published by the smaller Marcher Lord Press won a Christy.

An outstanding accomplishment for both Jill and Jeff, and you too Terry for recognizing her talent and being the agent on the book!

I LOVE publishing news like this. . . and of course, I'm curious why Jill is no longer with Hartline. . . :-)
