2026 Selah Award Winners

Last week, I was traveling with my family when my phone started buzzing with text messages from a friend and from my agent with some delightful news. Both of my projects that finaled in the Selah Awards placed in their respective categories!

Hold Your Breath: Third Place in Audiobook

The second novel in my Crossroads Suspense series, Hold Your Breath, received third place in the audiobooks category. I’m honored to share this award with Sandra Huston, who did an incredible job narrating this story. She absolutely deserves this award, and as you may already know, she narrated Watch Your Back as well. If you haven’t listened to her narrations of these stories, I hope you will.

Watch Your Back: Second Place in Romantic Suspense

The third book in my Crossroads Suspense series, Watch Your Back, received second place in the romantic suspense category. I was so honored and humbled by this news. As you may remember from the Selah Finalists giveaway I hosted, I finaled with so many gifted authors whom I admire. I want to congratulate Kate Angelo and Sara Davison for tying for first place, and my friend Jerusha Agen for receiving third place.

Congratulations to All the Winners!

You can find the full list of winners on the BRMCWC blog. If you’re looking for summer reading, this list would be a great place to start.

Thank you for celebrating with me!
