🎉 Shanghai Sunset Named Finalist in the 2025 Indie Book Awards!

Updated: May 20

Huge congratulations to Sharon Barnes for being named a Finalist in the 2025 Next Generation Indie Book Awards! 🏅


A semi-realistic digital illustration of a strong female protagonist standing against a glowing Shanghai city skyline at sunset, created as a featured image for the blog post announcing Shanghai Sunset as a 2025 Indie Book Awards finalist.

Her novel, Shanghai Sunset, received recognition in the Action/Adventure (Fiction) category—a well-deserved honor for a bold and thrilling read that takes readers deep into a world of espionage, survival, and second chances.


I’m incredibly proud to have contributed as the illustrator for the book’s cover, alongside Bonnie Lill, the talented editor who helped shape Sharon’s vision into a powerful narrative.

If you haven’t picked it up yet, now’s the perfect time to dive in:👉 Grab Shanghai Sunset on Amazon


Thank you to everyone who supports indie authors and helps bring these stories to life through collaboration, creativity, and heart.
