Macavity Award For Best Short Story

Oct 25, 2024 | Misc.

I was nominated with my friend, Kristopher Zgorski for our first published short story, TICKET TO RIDE that is featured in the “Happiness Is a Warm Gun: Crime Fiction Inspired by the Songs of The Beatles” edited by Josh Pachter.

And…

We won the Macavity Award For Best Short Story. 

So we are three for three as we won the Agatha, the Anthony and now the Macavity for Best Short Story 2024.
