Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards has named MOONSCAPE a Bronze (third) Winner in the Mystery category! This is a national contest. I am so pleased this third Nellie Burns and Moonshine Mystery has received such recognition.
Here is what Ann Parker, author of the Silver Rush Series, has to say: In Moonscape, Julie Weston weaves a story as mysterious and captivating as the Craters of the Moon landscapes she evokes with her words. MOONSCAPE is Nellie Burns’s newest adventure with Moonshine, Sheriff Azgo, and Rosy.
