I'm happy but not surprised to say that SYNAPSE author, D. August Baertlein, is one of 50 semifinalists in the Young Adult category of  Amazon's Breakthrough Novel Award.  That's 50 out of 5,000 nationally.

I was lucky to get to do the cover illustration as well as its design, but D. August has done the real work — excellent writing. She's a longtime member of my online writing group and even her first draft blew me away with spot-on voices of three very different, very realistic main characters.
