A Kirkus Reviews Best 100 Books of 2022

A most memorable year after the publication of my book just got even better. In its December 15 magazine issue, Kirkus Reviews, one of the publishing industry’s most trusted sources of book reviews, announced it selected A Coat Dyed Black: A Novel of the Norwegian Resistance for its Best 100 Indie Books of 2022. I’m very proud to tell you about this significant and prestigious honor. The global firm also awarded my historical novel a Kirkus Star. Regarded one of the most coveted designations in the book industry, a starred review is reserved only for works Kirkus considers of exceptional merit. The highly positive review described A Coat Dyed Black as “An exciting, high-stakes story skillfully told.” I’m truly grateful for all this, particularly considering that Kirkus reviews about 10,000 books annually, including more than 4,000 independently published (indie) books. I thank all of you who have supported this book from the bottom of my heart.
