I am beyond humbled to announce that DEAD BY DAWN has won the New England Society’s 2022 Book Award for Fiction.
Founded in New York City in 1805, with a membership that has included Daniel Webster, J.P. Morgan, Teddy Roosevelt, John D. Rockefeller, and JFK, among many others, the organization devotes itself to charitable projects in addition to sponsoring these annual awards, honoring "books of merit that celebrate New England culture."
Recent recipients include my fellow Mainers Lily King, Author, Christina Baker Kline, and Monica Wood. It's very much a "one of these things is not like the others" moment for me, but I am sincerely grateful to the judges for finding my thriller worthy of this esteemed company.
