Dungeon Jest wins BIBA Award!

This past December, just when I thought I couldn't possibly add anymore awesomesauce to my 2022 as a writer, I received a notification that Dungeon Jest: The Ruby of Power won Humour Book of the Year at the Best Indie Book Awards (BIBA Awards).
WOOT! WOOT!

Huge thank you to all the talented people that worked on the book, including amazing artists Jeff Fowler and Corey King, editors Rosanne Lake and Nicole North, and the great team at FriesenPress, Inc., especially Cam Bradley for overseeing the project.

And as always, huge thanks to the mega beautiful and mega brilliant Cristine for all of her help and support with the book (and life). Thanks, baby!

Winner at NYC Big Book Awards!

I have some amazing fiction news about my books!

The NYC Big Book Awards, which is a competition for traditionally published and independent published books, just announced the 2022 winners and I'm super excited to make two big announcements!

My dice-rolling, monster battling, make-your-fate, game book, Dungeon Jest: The Ruby of Power, has been named 2022 Specialty Book of the Year!
Huge thanks to Jeff Fowler for his amazing artwork and to Corey King for the incredible inking of all the images!

I'm also very excited to announce that Remy's Dilemma: Special Delivery earned the Distinguished Favorite Award for taking 2nd place for NYC Big Book Awards Comedy Book of the Year!
Huge shout-outs to my eagle-eyed editors Nicole North and Rosanne Lake for their great jobs with both of these books, as well as to Jack Adler for his great work on The Remy Delemme Series!

And, as always, a huge thanks to my amazing wife, Cristine, for all of her incredible support, and for constantly re-reading my silly scribbles, and for helping me create the world's largest tree diagram for Dungeon Jest to ensure all of the paragraphs connect properly!

Special thanks also to FriesenPress, Inc. for helping me create great quality books!

Comedy Book of the Year!

I’m very excited to announce that Remy’s Dilemma: Special Delivery has won 2022 Comedy Book of the Year at the U.S.-based Independent Press Awards!

One of the biggest compliments I’ve ever received from my fiction writing is hearing that my silly books have made some people’s heavier days a little lighter, so receiving a win in the comedy category is an especially amazing feeling.

Huge thanks goes out to my incredible team that helped make this possible: Pj Monfero, Rosanne Lake, Nicole North, Jack Adler and the great people at FriesenPress, Inc. This book wouldn’t have won without your input, so thank you for all your hard work and dedication.

And, of course, the biggest thanks is saved for my amazing wife and better half Cristine for her undying support and awesome insights into my fiction writing. Love you, baby!

And thanks to everyone that has supported my writing journey by picking up copies of my books and leaving rating and reviews online. I greatly appreciate your support!
