Once Upon a Midnight Dreary Finalist in the 2026 PRISM Awards

I’m thrilled to share that Once Upon a Midnight Dreary has been named a finalist in the 2026 PRISM Awards in the Light Paranormal category!

The PRISM Awards recognize excellence in paranormal romance and fantasy romance, and I’m honored that Victoria and Gabriel’s story has been selected as one of this year’s finalists.

For those unfamiliar with the book, Once Upon a Midnight Dreary is my gothic fairy-tale romance inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe. Filled with mystery, ravens, family secrets, and a romance that blooms amid shadows, it has become one of the most unique stories I’ve written in the Enchanted Realms series.

This recognition is especially meaningful because Once Upon a Midnight Dreary was also a finalist in the HOLT Medallion. To see the book resonate with both readers and contest judges is incredibly rewarding.

Whether or not the book takes home the award, being named a finalist is something I’m deeply grateful for. Stories begin as ideas whispered in the dark, and it’s always a little magical when they find their way into readers’ hearts.

Thank you to everyone who has supported my books, shared reviews, recommended my stories, and cheered me on throughout this journey. Your encouragement means more than you know.

And yes—in honor of the occasion, I’m proudly wearing my raven earrings and necklace today.
