Update on The Wheat Doll

I thought you'd like to know that The Wheat Doll has won a couple of awards lately. A couple of weeks ago I heard that it won one from the IRA, International Reading Association, in the primary fiction category. That's an award for new writers, given to either a first or second book. It comes with a $1,000 prize. Jeff and I are taking a brief trip to Minnesotta in May to attend the awards banquet. Today I heard that it won another one called a "Spur" award. Spur awards are given in different categories to literature that captures the "spirit of the west."
Pretty exciting, huh?
