September 2023

I’m overjoyed that my story “Beauty and the Beyotch” won the Anthony Award for Best Short Story published in 2022 at this year’s Bouchercon convention, which just ended in San Diego. It was an honor to be nominated for the Anthony along with fellow finalists E. A. Aymar, Bruce Coffin, Curtis Ippolito, and Gabriel Valjan.

“Beauty and the Beyotch” also won the Agatha Award in April, and it’s a finalist for the Macavity Award. Those winners will be announced later this month. “Beauty and the Beyotch” was published in Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine, issue 29. For a limited time, you also can read it here on my website.
