I WON AN EDGAR!!!

So some very exciting news- back in January I was nominated for an Edgar Award for my novel OR ELSE. An Edgar Award is basically the top award for the mystery genre, and I was blown away to have been nominated. Fast forward to the end of April and lo and behold, I won in my category!

To say I was overwhelmed by the honor is the understatement of the year. Though I was unable to attend the awards ceremony in New York, the associate publisher for Thomas & Mercer, Gracie Doyle, was there to accept on my behalf which was wonderful.

Huge thanks to my editor Liz Pearsons who championed the book from the start and to my superagent, Laura Rennert who I’m beyond lucky to have in my corner. Also thank you to Mystery Writers of America for the honor and for all the volunteer work they do for authors and the genre itself.

Below is a picture of “Ed” as well as the video of my category at the awards event.
