The Compass Crimes series overlaps a few categories, so I entered it in two–Mystery or Crime and Thriller or Suspense.






East of Evil is a semi-finalist in the unpublished Mystery or Crime AND Thriller or Suspense categories.

Thank you to everyone on social media, at church, and elsewhere for your kindness.
