New award for Nagler Mystery DRAGONY RISING

 I am pleased and honored to receive a First Place award in the  2022 Royal Dragonfly Indie book contest.

1st Place (ebook mystery): Dragony Rising by Michael Stephen Daigle.

Dragony Rising is the second Frank Nagler Mystery to be awarded First Place in the Royal Dragonfly Contest: “The Weight of Living” was awarded First Place for mysteries in the 2017 Royal Dragonfly Book Award contest.

 

This is also the second award this month for DRAGONY RISING:

Previously, Dragony Rising, book five  in the Frank Nagler Mystery Series was named a 2022 Notable 100 Indie Book by Shelf Unbound. Thanks, Shelf-Unbound!

What makes these contest wins rewarding is that each one draws thousands of entrees from around the world, and the books are judged by genre, so a mystery writer like myself is only competing against other mystery writers.

A latest review for DRAGONY RISING:
