I don't think there is a separate finalists list, if I remember my experience correctly. The winners are announced at the event in Edmonds, Washington, I believe. Of course you don't have to be there to win!

Many thanks for the info, Jack!  I wasn't sure.  It'll be a long three months waiting to find out as the event doesn't begin until April 26th.

Many thanks, MJ!  Not sure when I'll learn if I've made the finals as the sponsor's website wasn't clear on this. Will let everyone know once I find out.

Many thanks! I hoped one of the might make the semi-finals, but to have both of my published novels make the list is a great thrill!

In case you don't see my announcement in The Next Big Writer premium forum, I found out today both The Kurdish Connection and Dangerous Alliance made the semi-finalist list for the Global Thriller Book awards.  There are thirteen novels on the list, so hopefully one of them will make it to the finals!

Couldn't have achieved this without the support of the Alpha to Omega group--many thanks!

Many thanks!

The final chapter of Carnage in Singapore has now been posted. I'll be leaving the chapters on the site until the end of March if anyone has the opportunity and would like to read more.  The manuscript will be submitted to my current publisher in early May.  Many thanks!

Many thanks, JP!  I hope to make it into the semis, but the competition is undoubtedly very stiff. Will see what happens, but as I mentioned before, I wouldn't have gotten this far without the outstanding support of TNBWers!

Just found out that Dangerous Alliance, workshopped on TNBW, is on The Official 2018 GLOBAL THRILLER Book Awards SHORTLIST!!

Many thanks to all who helped me improve my craft. Now, I'll have my fingers (and toes) crossed to see if Dangerous Alliance is selected as a semi-finalist.
