Congrats on another award!
Congratulations to Sandra J. Howell and Courtney Vail for being awarded a 2023 grant from Unify Against Bullying for their multi-award-winning ANGELS CLUB SERIES. This generous grant will allow the co-authors to gift sets of their series to many non-profits, clubs, children's hospitals and more.
Izzy, The Reluctant Hero by Sandra J. Howell features Izzy Franklin, a sixty-nine-year-old YA author, retiree, and widow in this first romantic cozy mystery for WRFP. Izzy's comfy life on her farm with her dog, stray cat and aging horses is disrupted when her friend Merle pressures her to go undercover on an elite senior dating site to flush out the grifter who bilked her out of thousands of dollars and then disappeared. Izzy is way out of her element, pretending to be a femme fatale, meeting philanderers online, and then in person. Izzy, reluctant from the start, was only in this to help out Merle and potential future victims of Krappy Karl. She never anticipated real danger or that her friendship with Gus, which could turn into more, would be threatened, but she must see it through to the end. For a funny, suspenseful read with a cast of quirky, enjoyable characters, get it today.
