I am a former editor of Futures Mysterious Anthology Magazine, both print and online versions. My first novel, “Lethal Relations”—(self-published) was Short Listed for the 2018 Chanticleer Int’l Book Awards for Mystery and Mayhem section. (It was subsequently republished by Level Best Books.) My second novel “Poison Butterfly,” was also self-published. My third novel, “Suddenly Deadly,” (self-published) was Short Listed for the 2022 Chanticleer Int’l Book Awards for Clue section.
