This just in… Congratulations to our 2022 Royal Dragonfly Book Awards Winners!
1st Place (ebook mystery): Dragony Rising by Michael Stephen Daigle
Amazed and honored to receive this award. Thanks, Royal Dragonfly!
This is the second award this month:
Previously, Dragony Rising, book five in the Frank Nagler Mystery Series was been named a Notable 100 Indie Book by Shelf Unbound. Thanks, Shelf-Unbound!
What reviewers have said:
“This is the 5th book of the mystery series. In this book, detective Nagler who has a conscience and ethics from ancient times, follows clues to uncover corruption and crimes in NJ. The book is well-written and will keep you turning pages to try and find out how the latest unexpected twist develops.”
***
“A very well written and highly engaging book that sucked me in right away. The author masterfully crafted a fast paced and very realistic crime story. If you are into crime drama or mysteries, this book is a must! Well done…well done indeed!”
Kirkus Reviews: “Daigle’s series, in which the decaying Ironton is as rich a character as Frank, continues with this epic installment. The plot distills motifs that have hijacked American discourse for several years… This crackling series installment provides a wide-angle shot of society and generations in conflict.”
