The Quarry Girls Takes the Gold

I have happy, thrilling news! The Quarry Girls took home the Anthony Award for Best Paperback Original/Audiobook/Ebook at last week's Bouchercon, the world mystery convention.

To be honored by the community I love is humbling, and it's extra special because I love this book so much (secret: I don't love all of 'em ☺️, and I'm not gonna tell you which are not my faves. Ok, fine. I think May Day is kinda stinky, but it's fine for a first book, and I truly believe writing it saved me.

It was an honor to be nominated alongside Sandra S.G. Wong, Jim L'Etoile, Kelly J. Ford, and Gabriel Valjan. I share this award with them, and I hope you'll check out their books, too.
