Tracefinder: Contact is a Rainbow Award winner (and here’s the full list)

I’m really excited that Tracefinder: Contact was the 2016 Rainbow Awards winner for: Best Gay Mystery Thriller (The Dorien Grey Award) and also second place for 2016 “Best Gay Book”.

A lot of people helped make this book happen, from beta readers to my editor Jonathan Penn, my cover artist and the photographer, my formatter, and of course all the readers who give me the confidence to put my stories out there. The Rainbow Awards are run by Elisa Rolle, who puts a ton of work into showing us how much great LGBTQ fiction is out there to be enjoyed.
