MASON, Mich.,
May 1,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- University of Michigan
alumna Elizabeth Salo (a pseudonym)
was recognized as a finalist in the Fiction:Romance category of the
34th annual Midwest Book Awards.
"My stories purposely feature strong female characters. Women
are faced with so much daily stress, negativity, and societal
pressure that I want to empower women to do whatever it is they set
their minds to. Toss in some magic, myth, and romance and what's
not to love?" Salo says.
Amazon in Exile is a romantic action-adventure story
loosely based on Greek mythology that takes place in the modern
world. Globetrotting, suspense, and action-packed fight scenes are
just a few of the things that await readers. Fall in love with
Kalli, a former Amazon queen, and Sam, an anthropology professor,
who holds the secret to finding her ancient civilization.

Awards gala held on June 22, 2024 at
the Mall of America in Minneapolis.
