We are SO excited for Darlene P. Campos, Writer!!!! 🏅

An incredible win for an incredible novel 🥰

I unfortunately didn't make it to the finalist category in the 2026 Book Bloggers' Novel of the Year Awards but I still have good news 😀.

The Center of the Earth won the Gold Medal 🥇 (first place) in the 2026 International Latino Book Awards in the Most Inspirational Young Adult Book category! This is the highest writing award I've ever received and I'm still in disbelief. I couldn't have imagined this moment when I was receiving rejection after rejection for this book.

Thank you so much to the judges of Empowering Latino Futures for choosing The Center of the Earth for this honor and thank you to BBNYA for considering my work ❤️.

Check out what NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Patricia Crisafulli had to say about JUST A SHOT AWAY, the debut novel from Leigh Stroh that was just released today!!!

"In his gripping debut novel, JUST A SHOT AWAY, Leigh Stroh weaves an intricate, character-rich, fast-paced story with the complexity of a spider's web--and just as ensnaring. From the deceivingly simple opening scene--a man in a big car, a heavy suitcase, two people approaching-the first characters are introduced, and we begin guessing who is on which side and why. Prepare to be wrong-and delightfully surprised. Stroh turns plot twists into a master class in deception as he portrays the corruptive power of unchecked authority and the heroic decency of those who stand for truth. This political thriller does not disappoint and beats with a heart that calls us all to be better than the sum of our fears."

🚨New Release Alert!!!

Today is International Day of Democracy, which is why we chose today to release Just A Shot Away, the debut political thriller by Leigh Stroh that reminds us that …

Democracy always comes with a cost.

After learning of a plot that could kill millions, small-town sheriff Jacob Davidson intercepts an enigmatic briefcase—one of the plan’s lynchpins that puts him in the crosshairs of formidable D.C. fixer Tiffany Wright.

And while Wright and Davidson play their game of hide-and-seek with each other and a compromised federal task force, billionaire Sebastian Augustus Greene III pulls his strings from the very seat of democracy. Greene’s end game is to forever alter the geopolitical power structure in his own favor, no matter how many have to die.

But is our way of life really just a game of smoke and mirrors? Or can someone like Greene be stopped by those who are willing to sacrifice everything?
