Enchanted Tales & Twisted Lore Sweeps the Outstanding Creator Awards 2025 Spring Contest

I’m an award-winning author!

Today, I woke up to the news that Enchanted Tales & Twisted Lore absolutely swept the Outstanding Creator Awards 2025 Spring Contest. My new adult dark romantasy short story, “Dabria’s Shadows,” also received honorable mentions.

First, we made the list of OCA Ultimate Championship Trophy Winners.

The anthology as a whole won first place in five categories: Best Fiction Book of Spring 2025, Short Stories/Anthologies/Collections, Fantasy, Horror, and Myths & Legends/Fairy Tales/Mythical Creatures/Cryptids.

“Dabria’s Shadows” earned three honorable mentions: Dabria for Best Character, Dabria’s Shadows of Death for Best Villain, and Dabria and Raziel for Best Couple. This is my all-time favorite short story, so receiving this solo recognition is such a dream come true.

Other stories in the anthology received honorable mentions, too.

Congrats to everyone who had a hand in Enchanted Tales & Twisted Lore. I’m so lucky to be in this anthology alongside so many talented authors.
