C. Hope Clark, who has contributed to this newsletter often, also writes mysteries (two series so far). She shares this news: Edisto Stranger is a finalist for the EPIC eBook Awards for 2018. One of four in the mystery category! And its cover is a finalist for the Ariana Awards, for the best cover. Lowcountry Bribe won the mystery category in 2013 and Tidewater Murder won in 2014. A couple of the other books were finalists but didn’t win. Fingers crossed that Edisto Stranger becomes the first in the Edisto Island Mysteries to win an EPPIE!”
