Tom Xavier It has been a good summer for my debut, middle-grade fantasy novel, DARK CURSES, FAERIE DREAMS. First, it was named as a 2018 Book Excellence Awards Finalist. A few weeks later, it was recipient of a Mom's Choice Awards Gold Seal in the category, Juvenile Fiction for ages 9-12. Both awards are very gratifying and affirming.
