Ghost Writing Wins the North American Book Awards Gold Medal in Romance

Astralumen Press is delighted to announce that Ghost Writing, the debut novel by Danielle Smyth, has been awarded the North American Book Awards Gold Medal in Romance. This distinguished honor recognizes the novel’s emotional depth, compelling characters, and standout contribution to contemporary romantic fiction.

Ghost Writing introduces readers to Callie Sheffield, a ghostwriter searching for her own voice while juggling the narratives of everyone around her. Since its release, the novel has resonated with a wide audience, earning a spot on the Amazon Best Seller list and receiving enthusiastic praise from readers and reviewers alike.

The story continues in Smyth’s holiday novella, Ghosts of Christmas Presents, also an Amazon Best Seller. The sequel revisits Callie and familiar characters in a new season, offering warmth, humor, and a touch of holiday magic. Set approximately sixteen months after the events of Ghost Writing, it provides a cozy and heartfelt return to the world readers have come to love.

Astralumen Press extends sincere thanks to the readers, booksellers, librarians, and reviewers who have supported these titles. Your enthusiasm and word-of-mouth recommendations have played a vital role in helping these stories reach new audiences.

Ghost Writing is available wherever books are sold, including directly via our website, and on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and independent bookstores such as Northshire Bookstore. The novel is also available on Kindle Unlimited. Readers can explore Ghosts of Christmas Presents through the same retailers and platforms.
