Fiction Finalist - Violet Crown Awards
I received a letter today announcing my novel AMERICA LIBRE had been selected as one of the six finalists in the Writers’ League of Texas Violet Crown fiction awards. Besides AMERICA LIBRE, the other fiction finalists are:
River’s Ebb by Jim Ainsworth
Harpsong by Rilla Askew

Sandhill County Lines by Clay Reynolds

Congratulations to my fellow authors. The winner of the fiction category will be announced November 1, 2008 in Austin, Texas.
