Fight or Flight named an American Fiction Award finalist!

Fight Or Flight: A South Side Story

Forbidden love and fierce rivalry drive Jeff Hollister, a street-smart high school senior and gang leader of the Hurricanes, to the brink of disaster. Thinking he’s got the world in his back pocket, and the police at a safe distance, he and his scrappy gang of teenage delinquents come to discover they don’t always come out on top after all.

This was pretty cool. Fight or Flight was named a Finalist in the 2023 American Fiction Awards by American Book Fest in the Adventure: General category! And I don’t know how significant it is, but FOF was apparently the only independently-published book entered to be named a finalist. So that’s a great honor, and the recognition is much appreciated! Hopefully more to come in 2024…
