Toby Award Nomination!
I’m thrilled to share that The Pathfinder has been shortlisted for the 2026 Toby Award for Best Mystery by a self-published Canadian author.
The Toby Award, sponsored by ReBound Press and Ottawa philanthropist Barbara Crook, recognizes excellence in self-published Canadian mystery fiction. The shortlist was selected by a panel of authors, journalists, editors, and librarians.
The winner will be announced on Sunday, May 24, 2026 at the Rideau Lakes-Portland Library.
Thank you to Peggy Blair and ReBound Press for championing independent Canadian mystery writers — and to the judges for their time and care.
Stay tuned for updates on May 24.
