October 12, 2026 — International Impact Book Awards: Author of the Year Awards | Hollywood, CA

13 Days of Silence: The Murder of Rylee James — 2026 Author of the Year nominee, True Crime

Note: I will not be attending in person, but 13 Days of Silence remains in consideration for the award.

That way when you look back at your calendar, it documents what the date actually represents rather than making it look like you're scheduled to be in Hollywood. And yes — Author of the Year, not Book of the Year. You've got enough damn awards and competitions floating around now that I don't blame you for mixing them up. 😂
