JOAN MERRIAM
My Joey
On June 29, I lost my gentle, beautiful, beloved dog Joey.
He was my friend, my companion, and most of all, my heart.
As a therapy dog, he brought uncounted joy to hundreds of people . . .
and since the day I adopted him in 2015,
he brought the same to every human being he met.
To a person, they were struck with his incredible kindness and sweetness . . .
he was like a magnet that drew every human being to him.
I will mourn his loss forever.
A Cruel Oblivion, the 2nd book in the Tess Alexander Mystery series, has been awarded the 2022 Eric Hoffer Book Award in the E-Book category. It was also shortlisted for the Grand Prize, an honor which is awarded to fewer than 5% of nominees.
The Eric Hoffer Book Award is an international literary prize which has become one of the largest and most prestigious book awards for independent presses and self-published works.
