Celebrating a Book Excellence Award

 

Sometimes the writing life offers a moment that makes all the long hours, revisions, doubts, and determination feel like they’ve come full circle. Today, I’m delighted to share one of those moments.

Quest: Mortal Path Book Four has been named a Book Excellence Award Finalist for Urban Fantasy, and I’ve just received the official certificate recognizing the honor.

This award means a great deal to me. The Book Excellence Awards evaluate thousands of entries from around the world, looking for books that demonstrate exceptional writing, strong presentation, and meaningful impact. To have Quest stand out among so many talented authors and compelling stories is both humbling and deeply gratifying.

For those who have followed The Mortal Path series from the beginning, you know how much heart and history are woven into these books. Quest is the finale — the culmination of a journey that has spanned years of world‑building, character evolution, and emotional investment. To see it recognized in this way feels like a celebration not just of the book, but of the entire arc that brought it here.

Thank you to every reader who has walked this path with me. Your enthusiasm, messages, and support have carried this series farther than I ever imagined. This award is as much yours as it is mine.
