Remember when I posted a few weeks ago about A Nose for Death (Ginny Reese Mysteries Book 4) being shortlisted in the Mystery and Mayhem Awards? Well, in an different award contest, I just found out that this same book has won a Best Indie Book Award! You could have knocked me over with a feather when I found out. I really had no expectations going into this contest–I enter these things mostly for exposure and to get my books seen by more people. So to actually win an award was completely unexpected!
Then this morning, I discovered Nose was a finalist in the 2025 Best Thrillers Book Awards! I have to tell you, when you struggling to believe in your work, it’s lovely to get this kind of outside validation.
How do you think I should celebrate?
CHow to celebrate? I think you more than deserve a day off. Cuddle with the pets, have a cuppa or two, and read a good book. Rest and recharge.
Hah. That’s pretty much how I spent this holiday weekend–that and paying bills, that is! Also, playing with the new puppy. 🙂
