Hiroshima Boy nominated for Anthony Award!

We’re thrilled to announce that Naomi Hirahara was nominated for an Anthony Award for her novel Hiroshima Boy, which we published in 2018. The Anthonys highlight the best in crime and mystery writing, nominated by the conference’s attendees. Naomi will be off to Bouchercon 2019 in Dallas, Texas this fall for the awards banquet. Hiroshima Boy is the seventh and final of the Mas Arai mystery series; Naomi won the Edgar for the third in the series, Snakeskin Shamisen, in 2007.

Way to go, Naomi! Learn more about the book by clicking here, and for the full list of the Anthony Award nominees, click here.

In addition to her recent award nominations, Naomi has also been featured elsewhere. Her book Blood Hina was put on Booklist Reader’s list of recommended mystery and thriller reads for Asian Pacific Heritage Month! See the complete list here.
