I’m going on tour for THE SHADOW SISTER!
I am stunned beyond comprehension to announce my book tour for THE SHADOW SISTER. I truly cannot believe I will be getting the opportunity to meet so many of you in such incredible places, speaking with amazing talents like Angeline Boulley (twice!), Kendare Blake, Jumata Emil, and Courtney Gould.
Most of these events/bookstores already have links up for you to register to attend. I’ve included all the current information on my Events page, with each stop having a dedicated spot I will continue to update. Please bookmark these if registration for your local event is not ready yet!
I can’t wait to see you this June!
I have a book deal!
I’m going to be a published author!
I’m overjoyed to announce that my first AND second novel will be published by Sourcebooks Fire!
THE SHADOW SISTER, my debut novel, will publish first in Summer 2023. You can learn more about it on my Writing page.
The two biggest things you can do for my book right now is adding my book on Goodreads and signing up for my author newsletter.
I’ve been selected for the Eleanor Taylor Bland award!
I am honored to announce that my novel, The Shadow Sister, has been honored as a runner-up for the 2021 Eleanor Taylor Bland Award from Sisters in Crime!
From their website:
The Eleanor Taylor Bland Crime Fiction Writers of Color Award is an annual grant of $2,000 for an emerging writer of color.
This grant is intended to support the recipient in crime fiction writing and career development activities. The grantee may choose to use the grant for activities that include workshops, seminars, conferences, and retreats, online courses, and research activities required for completion of the work.
As a runner up I receive a year-long subscription to Sisters in Crime and its online “Guppy'' chapter for beginning writers and I’m listed in the official press release, linked here. I am beyond honored that the national board for SIC saw something worthy of notice in my writing. I am so grateful and excited to celebrate with the other winners.
