Last year, I was floored to find out both I, Spy and Spy for a Spy were finalists for a Whitney Award. To be considered, a book must be nominated by five people. Then it goes before a committee of five (I think?) judges who read all the nominees in that category (authors select the category for their books). The judges select their top choices and the five top books become finalists. The winner is announced at a gala following the LDStorymakers conference in April/May.

Today, the 2014 finalists were announced, and I’m thrilled to say that Tomorrow We Spy is a finalist in the Mystery/Suspense category!

AND, even more surprisingly, Spy by Night is a finalist in the Romance category!

Thank you very much to everyone who nominated my books, and to the Whitney committee and judges who work reeeeally hard to coordinate all this!
