I am pleased to announce that my 3rd Arthur Nakai mystery novel has earned finalist awards in the 2022 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion award, the 2022 National Indie Excellence Awards, the 2022 New Mexico/Arizona Book Awards and the 2022 NYC Big Book Awards! I have been writing for 28 years and retired at the end of 2016 to focus on writing. With three novels published in five years I feel as though I am knocking on the door and will finally be recognized as a writer. I think it is a remarkable achievement to have garnered these awards since my 2nd Arthur Nakai Novel was released, Death Waits in the Dark. With When Silence Screams, I believe the content speaks for itself and is Arthur's darkest and grittiest story yet.
