United States, 24th Oct 2025, -
 

Jake Fox: Ties That Blind by Michael Stockham has been awarded The Chrysalis BREW Project’s BREW Seal of Excellence and has been shortlisted for the BREW Readers’ Choice Award.

The recognition highlights works that demonstrate strong literary merit, reader impact, and thematic consistency. The BREW review described the novel as “not just a thriller. It’s a raw hymn to broken souls finding their way through the storm.”

According to the review published by The Chrysalis BREW Project, “It grips your heart in the first five pages and never releases its hold.” The feature further observed that the story “interlaces two parallel descents: Jake, an attorney haunted by loss, and Rose Tucker, a girl running from the night that shattered her world.”

The publication emphasized the work’s structure and character depth, stating that “its echoes between Jake’s dead daughter Lucy and Rose’s murdered father, between grief and renewal, are so deliberate it feels almost musical.” It also noted that “the story’s tone bridges literary depth and commercial accessibility.”

The book’s recognition follows earlier honors received by the author, including the Literary Titan Gold Award and the Pinnacle Gold Award.

Jake Fox: Ties That Blind continues to engage readers with its portrayal of loss, law, and the moral choices that shape human lives. It is available via major retailers including Amazon.
