Secrets of the Magdalene Scrolls was submitted to the Writer''s Digest 15th Annual International Self-Published Book Awards.
Secrets of the Magdalene was submitted under the category of Genre Fiction. Although the book was not the winner, the judge's commentary is definitely a plus. On a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 meaning "poor" and 5 meaning "excellent," Bettye Johnson's book received a 5 in all categories!The categories include Plot, Grammar, Character development and Cover design. The Judge's commentary on what was liked best about the book was:
"Secrets of the Magdalene Scrolls is a tantalizing story depicting the discovery of ancient scrolls about Mary Magdalene and Jesus. Though it covers some of the same ground as the DaVinci Code, the writing is infinitely better and far more believable. The heroines in the story are more realistic and the adventures described in a truer voice along with a possible time-line--something very much lacking in Dan Brown's tale. Whether the reader chooses to believe what is revealed in story form or not, the book is entertaining from beginning to end."
When asked how the author can improve the book, the Judge replied:
"No suggestions--the author knows how to write and tell a compelling and convincing story. Hopefully the promotion for this book will be enough to make those who read the DaVinci Code want to read the Secrets of the Magdalene Scrolls."
The sequel, Mary Magdalene, Her Legacy is due out by the first of 2008.
