I just learned my first four Ro Delahanty Novels have made the FINALIST list for the Best Suspense / Thriller Series for 2023 in the Chanticleer International Book Awards (CIBA) competition.

Late last year I entered “Sniper’s Day,” Book Five, in the individual novel competition. I learned last week it made that finalist list.

At the same time, I also entered the first four novels – “Ro’s Handle,” “Hear Evil,” “Losses,” and “Secrets Never End” – in the series competition. I just received word it is a finalist as well.

The next step is First Place Category Awards in their competition streams – individual novel and series.

Nan and I will now have to wait until the CIBA Authors Conference in Bellingham, Washington, in mid-April to learn their fate – we already have our tickets…
