I’m delighted to announce that I have received a Silver Medal Award from Literary Titan for my newest novel, Trouble at OverTrails Farm: A Journey of Challenge, Persistence, and Awareness. Highlights of their review of the book include the following:

• “I liked how the book makes friendship its real engine. The mystery matters, but Nina’s fierce defense of Alex gives the story its pulse. Her anger is not reckless melodrama; it comes from moral clarity. She sees how quickly a vulnerable person can be misread, patronized, or used as a convenient answer, and she refuses to let that calcify into ‘truth.’ That emotional through-line gives the investigation more weight than a simple whodunit.” 
• “I was especially drawn to the way Lewis treats disability, anxiety, and self-worth not as decorative “issues,” but as authentic realities that shape how characters move through danger, friendship, and trust.
• “The target audience for this cozy mystery and friendship adventure includes readers who like suspense with a strong ethical center. Readers who enjoy Nancy Drew-style sleuthing but want a gentler, more socially conscious contemporary story will feel at home here. Trouble at OverTrails Farm is a warm-hearted mystery with a bridle in one hand and a moral compass in the other.”

Thanks for sharing my pleasant surprise, folks! Happy Independence Day and remember to stay hydrated in the extreme heat.

Take good care,
