Towles Takes Top Honors

Indies United Publishing House is thrilled to announce that Lisa Towles has won a 2025 American Fiction Award in the Thrillers – Tech category for her explosive psychological thriller Switch.

The American Fiction Awards, hosted by American Book Fest, recognize standout works across dozens of genres, highlighting books that push boundaries, elevate craft, and deliver unforgettable reading experiences. Towles’ win places Switch among the most compelling thrillers of the year — a testament to her mastery of tension, technology‑driven intrigue, and character‑centered storytelling.

Switch follows a man trapped between shifting identities, shadowy organizations, and a conspiracy that rewrites everything he thought he knew. Towles blends psychological suspense with high‑tech danger, creating a story that is as emotionally gripping as it is pulse‑pounding. Her ability to fuse human vulnerability with cutting‑edge thriller elements is exactly what makes this book stand out — and why it earned recognition on a national stage.

This award marks yet another milestone in Towles’ rapidly expanding list of accolades. With ten thrillers in print and more on the way, she continues to cement her reputation as one of the most dynamic voices in contemporary crime and suspense fiction.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate Lisa’s achievement and honored to publish her work. Readers can view the full list of winners here:
