Had a few minutes to breathe today, so I recorded a new video newsletter. It’s a bit long at 18 minutes, but it covers a lot of ground including The Easton Book Festival, Shore Leave 45 SF convention, Lehigh Valley Comic Con in August, my recent Pennsylvania Press Club awards, and my latest short stories in the new Bright Mirror and Retreat anthologies.

The official award certificate arrived today from the National Federation of Press Women Communications Contest.
My paranormal mystery novel, Testing the Prisoner, scored second place in the national competition.
The results were announced last month at the NFPW conference in St. Louis.
Excited to announce that my paranormal mystery novel, Testing the Prisoner, took First Place in “Books-Fiction for Adult Readers” category in the 2024 Pennsylvania Press Club Communications Contest.
I’m excited to announce that my novel, Testing the Prisoner, was a finalist in American Book Fest’s 2023 Best Book Awards in the Horror category!
I wrote this book to increase awareness and prevention of child abuse and domestic violence. After all, the best fiction tackles difficult and often uncomfortable social issues. It’s nice to see some recognition at this level. Not too shabby! I have the book out in one other contest but won’t hear the results until March.
Congratulations to indie publisher, Cat & Mouse Press, for winning seven state awards in the Delaware Press Association’s 2020 Communications Contest!
One of the winning books was Beach Pulp, published in March 2019. I’m honored to have two stories in this anthology, “Tapestry” and “The Celestials.”
