By Diane on May 31, 2016 in Beyond The Covers, Giveaway / Contest, Hunt for Jack Reacher

I’m thrilled to share the news with you that Jack and Joe is officially the winner of an IPPY Award

What is an IPPY Award? The 2016 Independent Publisher Book Awards are presented to the year’s best titles in independent publishing.

Jack and Joe received the Silver Medal in the category of Best Mystery/Thriller eBook.

The Independent Publishers Association gave out their book awards for 2016 in Chicago this month in celebration of their 20th year. Unfortunately, I wasn’t there at the big party to collect the award they bestowed upon Jack and Joe. But how very cool that Jack and Joe won the silver medal!

Thank you IPPY!! (And it looks pretty splashy, doesn’t it?!)

If you aren’t familiar with Jack and Joe and might be interested in learning more, here’s a little more info:

When FBI Special Agents Kim Otto and Carlos Gaspar are sent to Fort Bird, North Carolina to find Jack Reacher, powerful enemies with their backs against the wall will stop at nothing to keep the secrets Reacher left behind.
