It was 7:30 at night, and I was getting ready to read in bed. The phone
rang. The person on the other end notified me that my novel The Path of
the Wind, was one of three finalists in the Nancy Pearl Literary Awards,
and that a letter would be arriving soon to confirm that. I had a smile
on my face all the while reading and even when the sun finally went
down—in Alaska, it takes a while—I was still smiling. Somebody liked my
novel. Just what an author lives for.
The letter came on August 24th telling me to have my reservations and how to acquire my books for the program by August 15th. That left me wondering why Alaska is so far behind the rest of the United States when it comes to snail mail. But we are.
nice
