"Missing" Wins the Silver Medal in the 2016 Wishing Shelf Book Awards!

I am very proud to announce that Crime Cats: Missing won the Silver Medal in the 2016 Wishing Shelf Book Awards! Wishing Shelf is independent publishing contest out of England that prides itself on a thorough and transparent judging process.

Children’s books are read and judged by children in 8 UK primary and secondary schools. The books were marked according to EDITING, THEME, STYLE, COVER and, in the case of many of the children’s books, ILLUSTRATIONS. Each finalist is read a total of 15 to 20 times.

My sincere thanks to my collaborators, without whom there would be no Crime Cats, and to all of my friends and associates who have lent their help and support along the way. And, of course, my thanks to everyone who has enjoyed reading the adventures of Jonas, CatBob, and Neil Higgins. Thank you all! I look forward to sharing more mysteries and history with you.

Sunset Literary Club

I had the pleasure of speaking to the Sunset Literary Club this week. Sunset is the oldest active literary club in Columbus, Ohio, tracing its origin back 107 years! The ladies were gracious hosts and an appreciative audience. My thanks to Beth, for bringing me in and to the rest of the club for their hospitality, wonderful company, and generosity. We self-published authors are grateful for your support and encouragement!
