Novak’s Mission, my third novel and the first in a series featuring Pittsburgh-area police chief Karol Novak, has received an honorable mention from the Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published eBook Awards, receiving 5-star ratings in all six categories. The judge wrote, in part,
This was a great read. I really enjoyed the character of Novak and the people he meets and works with. He was so believable; I never had a problem imagining him doing the things you have him doing in your story. Your pacing and tension were perfect for a story like this… I came to care about Novak and his team, feeling as though they weren’t just characters in a book, but old friends. Wonderful job! I hope you write more stories with Novak and his team of officers. They are great characters.
