I’m thrilled to share some wonderful news — Pocket Full of Teeth has won First Place for Best Book Published in 2024 in the Alabama Media Professionals’ annual contest for Writing Excellence!

This recognition means so much, especially coming from an organization that supports media professionals across the state. The contest celebrates work that demonstrates skill, originality, and impact — all qualities I strive for in my writing — so seeing my novel receive this honor is incredibly rewarding.
Even more exciting, this win advances Pocket Full of Teeth to the National Federation of Press Women’s national competition later this year. Being part of a larger, national literary community and representing Alabama on that stage is an absolute honor.
I want to thank everyone who read, reviewed, and supported Pocket Full of Teeth along the way. Every encouraging message and kind word has kept me going — and this recognition feels like a celebration for all of us.

Stay tuned as I’ll share updates as the national results come in. For now, I’m going to take a moment to enjoy this milestone and then get back to writing — because there are more stories to tell!
🖤
