Tiger Paw has won the 2012 Royal Palm Literary Award for Best Thriller from the Florida Writers Association!

Here’s what the judges had to say about Charles A. Cornell’s debut novel:

Tiger Paw is a fast-paced, entertaining thriller— an intriguing story that grows exponentially from a serial killer case to a worldwide conspiracy involving financial corruption and religious zealotry on a grand scale.  A well researched narrative with vivid descriptions that bring the story’s settings to life. Interesting twists and turns. An excellent debut thriller! – Royal Palm Literary Award Judging Panel

The judges for the Royal Palm Literary Awards were drawn from the FWA’s membership of current or retired teachers, librarians, professional editors, college professors, published authors, former RPLA winners, journalists, and presidents of writing and reading groups from both Florida and from states across the USA.

The announcements of the Royal Palm Literary Awards were made at the Florida Writers Association Annual Conference & Awards Banquet held in Orlando, Florida on October 19 – 21, 2012.

About Tiger Paw:

As a serial killer wreaks havoc on Wall Street, dismantling a corrupt financier’s empire one body at a time, FBI profiler Scott Forrester uncovers the deadly secret of a demon-worshipping Hindu cult that is determined to change the very fabric of society. Firmly in their assassin’s crosshairs, Scott Forrester is forced underground to stop the killing spree. But will he survive the deal he must make with the Devil to thwart their satanic plan?

Tiger Paw is a thriller cloaked in mystery, psychological suspense and international intrigue. A story of people who have sold their souls in exchange for wealth and power. A story of greed, deception, and revenge. And a story of one man’s struggle to triumph against the greatest evil he has ever faced.

Tiger Paw is available in paperback or e-book wherever books are sold.

I just love a movie that’s got campy fun, lots of one-liners, and some really grotesque and creepy parts.

One of my favorites is

Here are some of my favorite scenes!

This poor guy doesn’t have a clue. He goes from couch potato to spider slurpie in seconds!

Attention all shoppers!

The shoppers after the announcement!

Can you see me?

Can you see me now?

Do I look fat?

The trick is to not fall off guys!

Almost got it. Just a little more.

Got any doughnuts?

I really can’t stand spiders, believe it or not. But this movie was so fun and had so many great actors in it. This is only a small part of my list of favorite scenes. The trapdoor spiders gave me nightmares and the ones sliding down the phone lines made me crack up. You could here the spiders sometimes. Almost like they were talking. It was just a great big funfest.
