Marilyn's Musings

Though I didn't win the Epic E-book award for No Sanctuary , I came home to learn that I did get the Golden Quill Award from American Authors Association for Dispel the Mist . Not too shabby. Actually, I'm thrilled. I would've entered Dispel the Mist in the Epic e-book contest, but they'd changed the dates the books had to be published, and mine didn't fall in the right time period. I don't think it would've mattered though, Mike's book, The Pot Thief is a fantastic and unusual mystery and deserved the win. The American Authors Association has been good to me, my mysteries have won other years. I do a lot of reviewing for them and have been able to read many good books because of it. Thank you, American Authors Association, for this award. Marilyn

Judgment Fire received the Golden Quill Award for Mystery from the American Authors Association. Needless to say, I am thrilled. In this morning's email I was tickled to find the following review: Judgment Fire Tempe Crabtree mystery series By Marilyn Meredith PUB: Mundania Press ISBN: 978-1594264849 Can Tempe Crabtree’s heritage and forgotten past help her find who killed a battered wife? Fighting the prejudices of hundreds of years against Native Americans and women in “men’s jobs”, Tempe works as a Sheriff’s Deputy in the Sierra Mountains. She tries to ease the misgivings of her minister husband and her firefighter teenaged son while she tries to balance work and family. Marilyn Meredith takes us into the spiritual world of the American Indian while she weaves Tempe’s story of arson and murder to a surprising conclusion in a well written book that’s over before you would like.
