Chrom Y Returns is one of 224 books in the 3rd annual Self-Published Sci-Fi Contest (recognized in 2023 by Reedsy as one of the Best Writing Contests)! Over the coming year, submissions are judged with Quarter, Semi, and Finalists on https://thespsfc.org/. Reviews of all books are posted on blogs and shared on socials.
