I am so honored and excited that Tiger Drive is a finalist for the Kindle Book Review Award. I am going to go crazy waiting for the winner to be announced on November 1, 2019. My birthday is on November 14th. Winning would be a lovely birthday gift.

Congratulations to my fellow finalists. I’ll be reading their books these next two weeks and sharing reviews. What’s almost better than winning? Knowing which books yours shares a ‘shelf’ with.

My Review of Fellow Finalist Cathy Zane’s Better Than This

Better Than This by Cathy Zane

My Review of Fellow Finalist Cathy Zane’s Better Than This

A few weeks ago, IBPA announced the finalists for the Benjamin Franklin Award, and Tiger Drive is a nominee for the Popular Fiction category along with three other finalists’ novels. Here is my first post, sharing more details.

I immediately purchased the other three authors’ novels. First, I read and reviewed Rob Hiaasen’s Float Plan (here is the review). Next, I read Dave Edlund’s Guarding Savage: A Peter Savage Novel (here is the review).

And I was beginning to see a common theme across our novels, but there was still one more book to read before I could be sure.

Some pretty incredible things happened as a result of this review, but I’ll share the details in next week’s newsletter when I have more time and after I return from the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award ceremony on April 5th.

The other two stellar books are Guarding Savage: A Peter Savage Novel by Dave Edlund and Better Than This by Cathy Zane.

I finished Guarding Savage yesterday. Before I share my review, here is the description of Guarding Savage as shared on Amazon.
