Exciting news! Skin Deep, my first mystery, has just been nominated for the 2021 Lefty for Best Humorous Mystery Novel, by Left Coast Crime. How cool is that? Now for the rest of my life, I can refer to myself as the “Lefty-Nominated Mystery Writer.” I’m gonna put that on my business card, if I had business cards.

Seriously — this is really super kind of these folks, because to be nominated in the same category with the likes of Carl Hiaasen and Ellen Byron is nothing short of amazing. Huge congrats to the rest of my awesome fellow nominees, Jennifer J. Chow, Cynthia Kuhn, and J. Michael Orenduff.

The winners will be announced on April 10, 2021!
