Hi friends,
Popping into your inbox real quick today to share some exciting news…
The Missing Half has been nominated as "Readers' Favorite Mystery/Thriller" for the 2025 Goodreads Choice Awards!
This nomination is an enormous honor, as the award is (don't quote me on this) the only one in the literary world to be decided by you, the readers. And looking at the names of the other nominated authors in our category is giving me a real freaky pinch-me moment. Lisa Jewell! Dan Brown!! Reese Witherspoon!!!
So thank you to everyone who has picked up our book and helped make this happen. I'm sending each and every one of you a very tight virtual hug. And if you read and loved The Missing Half, please consider voting for it through the link below. Or, to put it more finely, to not vote in this contest would be a big mistake. Big! HUGE! (Insert Julia-Roberts-in Pretty-Woman meme here)
That’s all for now, but stay tuned! It's been a busy fall and I'll have more to share soon...
xo,
Alex
