    I am thrilled to be a finalist for the Killer Nashville Claymore Awards for the third year in a row, this time for my upcoming southern thriller, Ghosts in the Glades. Killer Nashville has been so supportive of my writing journey and I have met some of the best authors at the event. Thanks so much!
