Lisa Towles Wins Dual Reader Views Awards for Thriller/Suspense

Indies United Publishing House is thrilled to celebrate Lisa Towles, whose powerhouse storytelling has once again earned national recognition. This year, two of her thrillers received honors from the prestigious Reader Views Literary Awards, a program known for spotlighting standout independent voices across genres.

Towles’ psychological thriller Switch was awarded the Reader Views Bronze Award in the Thriller/Suspense category, recognizing its razor-sharp pacing, layered intrigue, and the signature twists that have become her hallmark. Switch continues to captivate readers with its blend of high-stakes tension and emotional depth — a combination that sets Towles apart in the modern thriller landscape.

Her biotech-driven thriller Specimen earned the Reader Views Silver Award in the same category, praised for its bold premise, relentless momentum, and chilling plausibility. Towles’ ability to fuse science, suspense, and human vulnerability has made Specimen a standout among contemporary thrillers, and this award underscores its impact.

Winning in both Bronze and Silver categories in the same genre is a remarkable achievement — one that highlights Towles’ range, consistency, and mastery of the craft. Few authors can command multiple awards in a single year, let alone within the same competitive category.

At Indies United, we’ve long known that Lisa Towles is a force in the thriller world. These awards simply affirm what her readers already feel: her books are impossible to put down, impossible to forget, and impossible to read just once.

Please join us in congratulating Lisa on this extraordinary dual win. Her momentum is unstoppable, and we can’t wait to see what she creates next.
