A bit of good news this week! I'm happy to share that my debut novel, Player Elimination, was long-listed for the 2026 Chanticleer International Book Awards in the Mystery and Mayhem category for Cozy & Not-so-Cozy Mysteries. The entire long-list can be found here. Looking forward to the next steps in this process, but really chuffed to be considered at all.

I was also thrilled for my fellow maven, D.M. Barr, that her thriller Deadly When Disturbed was long-listed in the Thrillers and Suspense category! Congrats, Dawn!
