I’m thrilled to share the good news with you: Once upon a Mulberry Field has just won the Bronze Medal for Cultural Fiction in the Readers’ Favorite 2015 International Book Award.
In their own words, “Readers’ Favorite is the fastest growing book review and award contest site on the Internet. We have earned the respect of renowned publishers like Random House, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster, and have received the Best Websites for Authors and Honoring Excellence awards from the Association of Independent Authors.
“We are also very proud to be fully accredited by the BBB (A+ rating). The BBB is very cautious when it comes to book award contests, as all authors should be, and as a result we are one of the very few book award contests to receive BBB accreditation.
“We receive thousands of entries from all over the world. . . We receive submissions from independent authors, small publishers, and publishing giants like 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 #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).”
This year’s contest was their largest ever.

Hi, Lez! I am honored and very happy! Thank you so much for your support.
Congratulations! Good news and well deserved!
Steve, thank you for your support and encouragement from the very start!
Just learned about your “Once upon a Mulberry Field” book from Thu, the youngest daughter of Ong Ba Pham Huy Lan / Mrs. Hoang Thi Thach (Virginia). It has been almost 20 years since the last noteworthy-book written by a Vietnamese author Andrew Pham: “Cat Fish and Mandala” -in my opinion- was introduced.
Just ordered the book and I am looking forward to receiving and reading it.
