Bloodline Wins One Award and is a Finalist in Another!
It's been a good month for my YA scifi novel, Bloodline!!
Amazon Link
First, it was chosen as a finalist (among thousands of entries) in the IAN Book of the Year Award.
Then yesterday I found out it was awarded Honorable Mention in the Reader's Favorite Awards!
These are both international book contests, and while not as prestigious as some of the better known contests, they are still quite competitive. It's always encouraging to have your work recognized and I will admit that it helps give me hope that my trilogy still might take off one of these days! For now, I will still get excited if I have more than one download in a day, and rely on the honest feedback and reviews, to continue to improve my writing!
Thank you for your support!

Just a little update!
As I shared in my last post, the adiobook for The Mystery of Hollow Inn is out! It's been about three weeks now and so far, I have gotten six very favorable reviews, so I've gaine Just a little update!

This is especially good, since I have finished narrating Bloodline and am currently editing/mixing the audio. I still hope to have it out and available before the end of this month.
On another front, I have begun the second book in the Samantha Wolf Mysteries. The title (so far) is, The Secret of Camp Whispering Pine. I'm loving this fun story and I'm excited to have a panned release date for before the end of this year!
