Without Undue Pride is a winner!

Without Undue Pride won silver in romance in The Independent Publisher Book Awards for 2025!

The IPPY Awards is an affiliated awards program open to all members of the independent publishing industry, and are open to authors and publishers worldwide who produce books written in English.

I'm THRILLED Without Undue Pride's love story got this notice. A widowed war bride who's lost everything might not seem at first glance to be a HEA. But readers gave it a chance and I’m so grateful!

Without Undue Pride joins bronze medal romance winners An Affectionate Heart and Rising Courage. I'm fortunate I get to do what I do as an indie author and it's awesome to see the hard work recognized.

What's a romance or JAFF trope you'd love to see me tackle? Marriage of convenience, kidnapping/forced proximity, and widowed heroine have been hits, so let me know what you think I should write in the future.
