I’m thrilled to share that my upper middle-grade literary thriller, The Arrowhead Game, has been named one of the Top Three Finalists in the 2025 Adventure Writers Competition!
Out of hundreds of submissions from the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Brazil, my story has made it to the final round, where Dirk Cussler — New York Times bestselling author and the son of legendary adventure writer Clive Cussler — will select the winner. He will present the “Grandmaster Trophy” during the Clive Cussler Collector’s Society Convention this autumn, in Charleston, South Carolina on October 11th.
This novel has been years in the making, inspired by Florida’s wild landscapes, Calusa legends, and a dash of quiet magic. To see it recognized on this stage means the world to me.
I’m celebrating this incredible honor and feeling grateful for every reader, mentor, and friend who has supported me along the way.
Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing the results as soon as they’re announced!
