It was an incredible honor for A Cross to Kill to be nominated for a 2020 Carol Award and final in the Debut Novel category. Unfortunately, I did not bring home the award during the virtual ACFW Conference held via Zoom this year. Here's a list of all the winners from this year's award ceremony:

I couldn't have made it this far without my agent, Bob Hostetler of the Steve Laube Agency, and my wonderful editors at Kregel, Janyre Tromp and Dori Harrell. I'm so thankful to both the team at Steve Laube and the team at Kregel for cheering me on. Now to look ahead to next year for Cross Shadow to take home the award in the Mystery/Suspense/Thriller category!
