We are so, SO happy for Darlene P. Campos, author of THE CENTER OF THE EARTH!!!

Day 2 of and I can't believe I'm saying this, but THE CENTER OF THE EARTH is officially a number ONE new release in the Holocaust Historical Fiction category!

I've discussed how I received over 150 rejections for this book, but I've also faced numerous other challenges. Earlier this year, I considered retiring from writing completely. I thought I didn't have any talent and almost announced that The Center of the Earth would be my final book.

After a SOLD OUT book release party and now hitting a number one spot, this isn't my last book.
