The Electric God and Other Shorts Won First Place at The Firebird Book Awards!

The Electric God and Other Shorts just won its first award! It was recently announced that the book won First Place in the category of Short Stories at The 2024 Firebird Book Awards! Although I won First Place previously at the BookFest Awards, this is the first time one of my books won First Place in this particular competition. (I won Second Place before.) The Firebird Book Awards are presented by Speak Up Talk Radio. The awards help fund homeless shelters with books, pillowcases, and other needed supplies. I’m honored not only to have won again but to have contributed to this most noble charity.

Here is the page with all the winners (to jump to my award win, hit Control+F for “Short Stories”):

I’ve already updated the book’s homepage on this website with the award seal here:

Here’s hoping more award wins are on the way this season!
