I am incredibly honored to share that my debut novel THE CHAYOTES—a story of finding lost purpose by helping others follow their dreams—was selected by the judges of the 20th National Indie Excellence Awards as a Double 2026 NIEA Finalist in the categories of both Music and Regional: Fiction – West! My sincere thanks and appreciation to the NIEA for supporting indie authors by lifting our books into the light and helping us to feel worthy. Thanks also to Maine Authors Publishing and the MAP Cooperative authors’ community for their support and guidance.
