2025 Realm Awards
Realm Makers, a community of Christians who write speculative fiction, has been my author haven since 2017. The talent and experience present in this community of science fiction and fantasy writing professionals provides a wealth of education and encouragement to creatives of all levels. Once a year we gather to grow, connect, and celebrate our progress. At this annual conference the Realm Awards honor the best in speculative storytelling.
That Water’s Break, my debut novel, is a 2025 Realm Awards Science Fiction Finalist is more than I could have dreamed! Winners will be announced at the 2025 Realm Makers Conference & Expo in Grand Rapids, MI.
On top of that, Water’s Break has also been voted into the top 25 Readers Choice nominees! I love my readers, and am blown away to be listed as one of your favorites! Here’s how you can help keep Water’s Break in the running. Go to the Realmsphere and vote between now and May 16th. You get to pick your three faves!! And if you’re not a member, it’s free to join—just tell ‘em I sent you.
For more REALMSPHERE shenanigans, there’s going to be a Spring Book Fest, April 24-26.
This 3-day event provides an opportunity for authors and fans to connect and have some fun online. We're highlighting the Reader's Choice long list at the Book Fest AND digging up some oldies (but goodies!). There will be giveaways, interactive posts, and a new approach to the Author Q&A! Keep an eye on my socials or newsletter for more details.
I hope we get to hang out!
